no money for the wheel bearing

Autopower rollcage came in today, time to start reproducing the mainloop and selling!

[wed3k]

-rod housing bores needed to be resized
-crank falls within std specs
-received new dowels so im gonna install the mains and girdle and check the mains

if all works well, the bearings should be on its way.

I saw weight values written on your rods so you will be balancing your rods after the resizing, right?

yup

less weight ftw

[wed3k]

mains are big by .001"

might need to cut and align hone down but i want to check the available bearing thicknesses first from honda.

[wed3k]

scratch that...

after measuring my old main bearings, the housing bore and journal on the crank...my clerances are acceptable but for racing, ill need to get them as close to each other as possible. no fucking around.

im shooting for .0015 clearances for my mains using honda oem's. im gonna get fucking raped on the price since i can get ACL standard main ebarings for 30 bucks as opposed to 90-100 for oem.

i still might get them coated as well so ill need to ask next door how much should i compensate for that. ill create a thread soon hopefully to discuss more about bearings.

9 pages holy CB7!How long have you been working on this project... got a deadline yet? Let us know when the first appearence will be held at.Great work you got going there.

[wed3k]

time = money and i dont have much money, just a machine shop

i antisipate the bottom end to be done in a month, cylinder head to be done in 2 months after that and probably assembled and into the car another 2 months after that.

before the motor goes in, i want to make sure my transmission, fuel, ignition and the entire car is setup for racing.

the ultimate goal is the honda challenege and with this hybrid motor it means im running in the H1's. i really dont think ill get 1st place but seat time is seat time.

8 dollars a set to coat main bearings.

so it may end up costing me 140 bucks just for the main bearings and about 40-50 bucks on the rods.

this is getting expensive but luckily i work two jobs now :o
