Big end Rod Bearings



What is the difference between the F00 and the F11?

F11 have probably superceded the F00

F11's are the ones you want.

Out of interest try and choose the F00's and see if it comes up with a superceded part number, ie F11

Doesn't say anthing about be replaced by or anything. I was actually hoping that they were oversized but after a search that isn't possible. I now have 2 junk cranks after buying a "guaranteed to be tight and good bottom end" off of ebay. Maybe he will take it back but I doubt it. I need a crank if any1 has one pm me with price.

bearings from a honda car b1800 motor can be used to reclaim the cranks. buy them from an auto supply store not honda to get the best range of sizes. an auto crank grinder will understand what you are wanting .

Undersized. When you have your crank ground you use undersized bearings. The crank pin is smaller than stock.

do as I suggested. take your crank and rods to an auto crank grinder. he will have listings of the bearings. he will grind your crank to the next suitable size. and probably supply the bearings.
bearing shells require a small touch with a file but he will know what to do.

I have two extra cranks that aren't in engines. One is nearly perfect, and stamped to indicate all journals are the larger size; it can still be micro-polished to any of the 3 stock Suzuki sizes of shells. The other has one bad half-journal from a typical front-cylinder big-end failure (Chuck's bike). I was asking Kendall $270 plus shipping for both, with almost all the value going to the good one. The "bad" cranks have demand and value for Kendall Berg's strokers or other stroker applications (Falicon will stroke it for you), Falicon (or other shop) stock-stroke grind/weld-up/regrind procedure, or like Stu said regrind smaller journal for customized thicker-size smaller-ID bearing shells originally meant for Honda or BMW engines (search).

I found honda bearings that I can get in .25, .5, and .75 undersizes. So I will prolly go that route. I just may fix both motors and keep or sell the xtra.
