building the motor need help
okay so i went and i got wisco pistons and manley h beam rods with ACL/calico 7 bolt rod bearings for a 4G63/4G64 and i got my head ported and polished. now i need to put everything in and i staggered the rings and i put the rod bearing in and torqued the rod bearing caps to spec but now my engines teacher in tech school who btw is a american muscle guy is telling my that the rod bearings that came out of the car may be select fit to my crank. now im worried if i should use the acl ones. if anyone knows anything about this please help me out i dk if this muscle guy knows what hes really talking about or not. thanks

the Factory rod bearings are select fit. If you look on the crank On one of the counter weights, You will see roman numerals stamped these indicating what bearings should be ordered. Acl makes standard fit bearings that should be just fine. The select fit difference is very minor around a tenth of a thousandth.

You should still however check the clearances for all the bearings just to be sure everything is in spec. Yeah, it does take a decent amount of time to do it right, but you are investing a little time into a motor thats costing you a lot of money to build.
