The table below shows a quick price comparison of rod bearing replacement cost estimates from reputable suppliers: SupplierĬompare Car Warranty Quotes For Free & Save Big! In addition, you’ll have to replace seals, gaskets, and oil pump seals. Most bearings cost about $3-$10 each, or even less if you get them in larger packs. Here, you can expect about 8-20 hours of labor. The average cost of replacing rod bearings is usually $2,000-$3,000, or about the same as rebuilding the entire engine. This means you’ll normally have to do it at least once over the lifespan of the car. In fact, most vehicles recommend changing the rod bearings every 60-80,000 miles. When that happens, the bearings are the most likely culprit. So I would buy four "Green 3" rod bearings.If you’re having engine issues like knocking, power problems, or even failure to start, it’s a good sign the crankshaft is having issues. (they also said B-series are equivelant to #2) I did some searching on here and found that the Eagle rods are the equivelant of #3 oem rods for D-series. Since I am using aftermarket rods instead, I need to get the correct size for those. So if I was going to use these rods again, I would go to the dealer and order a set of four "Green 2" rod bearings. For finding the color, use the same method as before and look for the dab of paint on the edges of the bearings. All the stock rods had the "2" stamped on them. The number is on one of the edges where the cap meets the rod. Right is Eagle aftermarket rods.Īll the OEM roda have a number of 1-4 stamped on them. if one of them was a "Pink 1" I might double check my readings since that is so far from the rest of the bearings. Looking back at the chart, you can see that these are close in size.
Go to the parts counter at the dealer and that is what you tell them. So I need one "Brown 3" bearing two "Brown 2" bearings and two "Green 3" bearings. (brown looked more like orange, green was easy to see) Also be sure you have your bearings in the right order here, not 180? backwards, The dab of paint can be hard to see (not visible in pic), it is on the thin edge in the center of the half circle. Now after you write those down in order, look at the other half of the bearings for the color. the "6" that is stamped in the cast area does not matter, only the smaller stamed #'s in the flat parts of the crank matter. So from the pic, you can see that bearings from left to right read 3, 2, 3, 3, 2. Also it is important that you NOT mix up the order of your bearings when you take the bottom end of your motor apart! Write it down and label them with a marker- if you get them mixed up, you made a ton more work for yourself. This pic shows where you will get the numbers from for the crank bearings. (I put the red type over the stampings on the crank, they didnt show up well in the pics)
the paint is on the edge of the bearing, the number is stamped on the crank and rod. I went with OEM just for a piece of mind, and will be double checking the clearances with plastigauge of course.įirst I want to show this chart I have found on (a great resource for information on all Hondas)Įach bearing is coded with a number, and a dab of paint. Second, why not just buy ACL bearings and call it a day? ACL bearings are good quality, and proven in high HP motors, but they do not come in the different tolerances that the OEM ones are available in. Honda uses slightly different sized bearings, coded by a number and a color. OEM honda bearings are not all the same size, even in the exact same applications.

I am writing this because I had a hard time finding out how to read the stock bearings to figure out what replacements to order from Honda for a D16z6 motor.
