crank shell/big end codes
Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2017 9:51 pm
Stripped my failed nc 30 race engine to find big end failure, the crank was damaged beyond use. Luckily i have a spare road engine and all looks good so the crank and rods can be reused.
as the race engine has better bores i want to use the race engine crank cases with the crank shaft from the road engine, obviously i have to replace the main shells and bigend shells. I would like to plastigauge the journals before purchasing shells but i can only do that with the big ends, because i am putting a different crank with different crank cases i cant measure the mains clearance first so i am going to have to rely on code matching from the haynes manual. I have read some posts about incorrect info in either haynes manual or honda service manual and im not sure which to believe, so i am going to need some help on confirming the correct shells. Here are the codes from the crank, crank cases , big end and conrod.
Crank case code from left to right= B B B A
Crank shaft journal code left to right= 2 1 2 1
So according to the haynes the main shells from left to right=Brown Green Brown Yellow
BIG END
All big end journals are coded = A
All conrods are coded = 2
According to haynes i need bigend shells= Green
Could some kind person please confirm these are correct i want to be sure im ordering the correct ones before spending £180 on shells, thats if i can find them!
Thanks
