patman Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thankyou Colin mate this is what I thought, reason why I asked there's a engine guide on here http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/58187-how-to-build-a-forged-5efte-engine-step-by-step-guide/And I understand it's for a build a forged but in the built his put "Next is to put the main caps on to hold the crank in place, these also need bearings put into them, there are 5 of of them and they are numbered 1-5, again cover the outside in oil once fitted.. It is very important you put these on the correct way and in the correct sequence. You will notice that each one has a number on the top and also a small peg in the middle to indicate the direction it should go. Number 1 starts on the clutch/flywheel side with the peg facing the timing belt and then 2,3,4,5 all follow the same pointing towards the timing belt side with those pegs."If number 1 cap starts on the cambelt side and NOT the flywheel side this is very misleading to people Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) timing belt side is nr 1 if im not mistaken Edited October 23, 2014 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'm not doubting you mate as I thought it was aswell just with that write up I can see why people would get confused and start asking questions 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Bringing back an old topic here. I didn't realise that you had to be so specific with the tolerances on bearings. I thought it was a case of they're stock, or they're oversized by 0.25mm. I've just measured my crank with a caliper because it's all I have, and they're around 46.90 on the mains and 39.90 on the biggies so I presume it's standard size.I'm willing to buy a gauge that goes into the thousands to check them properly, but then when I have a look for replacement bearings, the only options are stock, or .25 oversize lol! Example...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JDM-TAIHO-MAIN-CON-ROD-ENGINE-BEARING-SET-STARLET-GT-TURBO-EP82-EP91-4E-FTE-STD-/291716267889?hash=item43eba4ff71:g:JGwAAOSwnDxUkG9BAnd the oversized, with no specific optionshttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAIN-CON-ROD-ENGINE-BEARING-SET-Toyota-Corolla-Starlet-1E-2E-4E-Taiho-0-25-/252228971897?hash=item3aba04ad79:g:xoIAAOSwPcVVwLrBSo.... Is it really no use buying the "standard" size bearings listed above because they might be out? Or realistically is that thousand of a mm going to make any difference, and generally a standard size replacement will be fine?Also is there any real benefit of using an ACL bearing over a standard one? Cheers guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Colin will know this answer he guided me through mine mate, I put genuine Toyota bearings in mine, don't for get there are 3 different size bearings so yes you do need to get it right first time, I would personally by the gauge what goes into thousands I actually brought one of eBay cost me £50 and only used it to built my engine, I will let colin take over now as he can explain it abit better 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Get them measured by a engine shop. Not easy to get accurate measurements Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 ^^^^ why ???? it real simple to measure aaadzz123 you need a micro meter 0.000 to take measurements as pat mentioned there is many diferent bearings in the last 0 diggit !!! invest in 1 and keep for life you can buy the acl but there al 4 the same size and not ideal you can chance it and be ok or it could bit u in your ass i never buy acl some are bad fit anyways anything you wanna know pm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Not very simple to use accurately especially a digital micrometer. Easy to get measurements yeh, but spot on accurate ones not most people can do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
