Ok cheers zychu. It's standard sized ACL race bearings I'm using

So iv just fitted the crank and the main clearances are all inbetween 0.0020 and 0.0025, will this be ok for the power im going for?

Cheers Murray. I will measure the crank and check

Thanks that's what I thought. I will start building it at the weekend and post the clearances I get just to make sure because I don't really want to just put them in a hope for the best then end up stunning a bearing.

Any one!??

I'm really wanting to build the engine myself. The crank has been micro polished and balanced so the standard sized ACL race bearings should be fine but I'm wanting to know roughly what clearance I'm looking for on the mains and rods. I could assemble it and post up the clearances I get from the...

Hi, iv just got my block back from Ireland where it was away being sleeved. I'm just needing to know what bearing clearances I will need when I come to building it back up? I'm using ACL race bearings and it's a 500bhp turbo build. I'm going to be using plastiguage to check the clearances. And I...

Ok that makes sense rs250nut thanks. I didn't realise this could happen and cost so much extra.

Yeah I will need to go do that Logan. I was speaking to Robert reidy and he reconds that the guy mite have warped the block and is trying to get me to pay for his mistake

Exactly an extra 500 plus he's not even been using my crank it's one he had lying about. Apparently he doesn't need mine. This is why I'm totally confused at what he's on about so I'm wanting some opinions before he gets any money off of me. Plus he doesn't have the machine to do whatever he's...

Plus he said he wouldn't advise O-rings because I'm going with 83mm bore? When darton, GE ect do O-rings at 83mm no bother

I know what your saying but surly he's fitted these before and torqued them to 80ft lbs so why is it just my engine thats had this problem? that's what I need to know before I go pay near £2000 for him to sleeve my block.

So why is this only happening with mine? He's never came across it before? I know every engine is different but why the extra £500+VAT? Just doesn't sound right

Hi, my b16b is away being sleeved at the moment but the guy who's sleeving my block with dartin MID sleeves has got back to me saying when he fitted the sleeves and crank with ARP main studs that the crank is jamming, he's saying this happens now an then because of the ARP main studs is this...

Nice video looks a lot of fun. shame you crashed though
