Plastigauge and bearings

[thermal]

Ok fellas, this is what I did:

First off, ACL bearings are all mid size (rated "green", I believe is the mid size Honda).

What you do is place a piece of plasti-gauge on the crank where the bearing should be.

Then place whatever bearing you want to use on top of it.

Place the bearing cap then torque it to factory Honda specs.

Remove the cap and bearing. The plasti-gauge will be smashed to a certain width. Measure that.

Then use that measurement to compare against the Honda specs.

If the plasti-gague spec is not within limits, then you will have to use a different bearing and repeat the process.

When I did my ACL, it all came out within specs. For the most part, ACL bearings will be within specs unless the crank is totally jacked-up.... which is very possible.

Note:
Make sure you follow the Honda procedure on measuring these shits. Most importantly putting all the caps and toquing it to specs before individually taking plasti-gauge readings.

Hit me up if you get into some problems bro.....
