    Default rod bearing help

    I am buying eagle rods to put into my b16a and I am not sure what size bearings I need to buy. If anyone can tell me how to figure that out I would be eternally grateful. I dont want to just use acl bearings I would rather they fit as close to perfectly as possible.

    I kind of want to learn to do it myself, but thanx for the advice. If anyone knows the process please let me know. I would need the rods if I went that route though correct.

    measure the journal, measure the crank, measure the bearing and find the difference(clearance)

    Yeah I am going to have the shop check it for me when I take the block in to get honed. When I get it back I just check the clearance with plastigauge and if the clearance is within spec then I am good correct.
