OEM bearings are not the best :-p

there are really expensive ones that are better!

 

that hone job sucks *** man hopefully those rings will seal up.

I never use those style of hones (stone). Only ball hones for me to get that nice 30 degree cross hatch.





yaya sucka!

I just got my D all assembled today.. hopefully tommorow I'll have my redrex back on the road. I got a ---- ton of pics to


btw where the pics of the thrust washer installed?.. hope u didnt forget it?! A write should have a picture of howto install it properly.

 

damn jeff, that hone looks sick. do a write up on how do do a proper hone, i've got a b18 block that i'm bout ready to build, but i've kind of been putting it off b/c i'm not really sure how to hone and clean it up :P btw, uh, good write up steve

 

Steve, is that just a image problem or are there pits and little pieces of cyl wall in there poking up?

 

yep, thats what I was implying but I'm guessing you have nothing to back up your statements where I have installed and used various aftermarket bearings and seen the results. Go ask the race engine builders what they use for bearings

 

where can you get one of those tools to hone your cylinder walls

Yeah same here, I'm rebuilding my B18 Ls/Vtec and need to hone it and put in new rod/main bearings. What Grit should I use to hone the cylinders and should it be a ball hone? And finally what do I use to set the ring gaps in my new pistons and where can I find what the gaps should be? Thanks

 

The things that you are seeing in the cylinder is drops of oil. (I saw that too and was like )

Jeff, I tried to find a ball hone, but nobody had one. After some of the ---- I've seen you do you can't start getting technical with my hone job. :P

I'm not spending $100 on new bearings when the new ones look fine. They are either good, or not good.

A V8 friend of mine (that has been around more motors/race cars/ ect. than anyone I know told me that bearings are bearings and that all the hype the honda guys talk about is bullshit. Especially the one where "you should only use factory bearings in a honda". :P
