Thanks dude lol i know it says iy now but it didnt. And also i bought the whole rotating assembly. So explain this to me. Go to rotating assemblies. It gives u map crank and choice of map rods or turbo tuff. Why would they even give u the choice when they dont even work??

 

It works with the default acl bearings, acl have been in low supply so they have been selling king in their place. Acl are more popular and bolt in with no machining, but king are actually better bearings but require work to fit.

 

i guess its just programming issues to choose parts hehe
imagine i can actually add products that dont exist for example most shops make mistake is the Manley 94mm forged crank, hehe they dont even exist, 94mm only comes billet from manley.

 

Ya no biggy. i just wanted u guys to know before making same mistake i did. My machine shop fixed them. So hopefully no more suprises

 

Its not abnormal to have to chamfer the bigger I beam rods since they are setup around a 6 bolt bearing. Eagle, Manley, K1 all need a 7 bolt style bearing but rods like R&R, Manley, and apparently the Howards need a 6 bolt.

Machine shop chamfers them when they set the clearances, easy.

 

I found this out when I tried to put Oliver rods on my Manley billet crank. The Manley crank has a radius on the journals. I was told that the bearings could be chamfered, but I decided to pick up the Turbo Tuff rods instead.

 

Wait so aaron. My shop said they trimmed the bearings. Are u saying they shoulda just did it to the rods themselfs??

 

Yup pretty much kicking myself now. Shoulda went with turbo tuffs
