G16A Main Bearing Caps

[fixkick]

did you buy the bearing and open the box, its inside the box, if not the machine shop sends them back
each maker decides what sizes they use,
each makes knows the crank was ground for sure. to as spec.
no usa maker ,makes bearing for any stock crank. see why,? that gang grinding crude in the factory.
only susuki used to, not now,,,,
so if the bearings you have are too lose, the the crank must be ground
ask your machinist this, buy one lunch and get the scoop here

what the machinist does is, if bearings dont fit and more (loose), now. (300k miles)
he mikes it to see if .25 or 0.5 or 1.0 mm will clear the damage. just like boring cylinders. 0.25mm is 0.00984252 inches
as you can see they have inches and metric bearings, and the crank grinder uses the data sheet to get the exact grind.
he orders the beariings opens the box and there must be a data sheet inside, showing and telling the grinder man what to do.
that is it.
the goal is.0008 to .001" CLEARANCE, 12 TO 6PM ON THE JOURNAL. THAT IS WHAT HE DOES. AT FULL MAIN CAP TORQUE AND ATTENDANT CRUSH.
