I had the machine shop order some SR20DE crank bearings. I assembled the bottom end with all new ARP hardware "Main studs and Rod connecting bolts". Im getting really horrible binding issues when the crank is fully torqued. I used assembly lube on both sides of the bearings and I had the crank polished, balanced and straightened. So i know the crank is good and i ordered standard size bearings plus i TQ the mains in steps like your supposed 2 "i did this multiple times".
Basicly im asking if u can use SR20DE bearings in a SR20DET bottom end. At this point i can only think that the bearings are wrong. but i got standard size SR20DE bearings for a Crank that is in spec.
and because everyone like pictures, me at the last event
