okay cool. i plan on putting high compression pistons and a built b16 head on a gsr block.. i cant wait YAYACL. You'll be fine with standard size. :thumbs up
I wouldn't say that is a guarantee. Personally I'd measure it first to be sure you end up with the proper tolerances.You'll be fine with standard size.
what would i be measuring for.. like what do i measureI wouldn't say that is a guarantee. Personally I'd measure it first to be sure you end up with the proper tolerances.
okay now i understand. usually is the standard size the best?? why would oversized be used on a factory rod?? (sorry im new to this building motor thing)Measuring to find out the proper size bearing to use. You would need to measure the OD of the rod journals and the ID of the rod ends using a micrometer. Or you could use plastigauge as well.
well if i went oversized bearings, would it shave off the oversize and kinda make a custom size bearing... like when the crank spins around the tight bearing wouldnt it just loosen til its fine.. (confusing to understand prolly)The factory size should be fine if the crank or rods have never been turned or do not have excessive wear. But I think it's just a good idea to be damn sure before you build an engine around an assumption.
It may seem like a waste of time if the stock size turns out to be what you need, but it would be ten times worse if you built the engine and it has rod knock or spins a bearing.
okay gotcha well the guy just told me the crank was in mind condition, but ill measure and check. what measurements am i lookin forThat's bad. You don't want to do it like that. You want to measure them to get the correct tolerances. You need to find the happy medium of tolerances. If they are too tight the could score the crank and/or bearing and possibly spin a bearing or seize up. If they are too loose, you will have rod knock and potentially lead to a spun bearing.
