Well. Looks like I'm going yo need a crankshaft for my S13 CA18. I still can't believe I have to replace a crank because some Japanese guy crossed the threads!

How should I go about bearings? Do I need to match numbers on the block and crank? Or are there "upgraded" bearings I can throw in....I don't know, I've never done a crankshaft. Thanks in advance.

Take the lower assembly to machine shop. If your bearings were put in wrong, you more than likely need to get the crank machined as well as get an align bore to ensure that your crank journals are true and aligned because if you don't, you may end up having problems with any other crank you throw in there.
