Hey guys, I'm rebuilding a S1 RB25 and havent ever really gone this far into an engine before. Was just looking for a few pointers to help me through this process. I just got my bearings and main studs in the mail yesterday and decided to plastiguage the crank this evening. Even though i didn't and still don't know exactly what to do with these measurements, i decided to go ahead. Got all my measurements, took pictures, all that good stuff. However, now i am reading all sorts of mixed information online and its just throwing me for loop after loop. I read as much as i can on something before making any major decisions, but i don't know what it is about bearing sizes...i just cannot wrap my head around it. I ordered standard sized bearings (just to check clearances with) and all of my readings came up between .038 and .025, even some leaning closer to .025. Do i need to order larger bearings? I'm going to have the crankshaft polished probably tomorrow or the next day. Will i need to recheck clearances after i have it polished? How do i use a micrometer to check for roundness of the crank? Thanks ahead of time guys.
