Bearings colorcode, double check.
« on: June 19, 2018, 12:43:17 PM »
Dear All,

Just started on my second HondaCb400Four engine, still learing about the crank and rods color codes.

Please let me know if I have it correct! :-)

Crankcase:     B A B A A
Crank:           A1 A1 A1 A1 2
Conrods:        2 2 3 2

Crankcodes are: B1 A1 B1 A1 A2  which translate into Green, Yellow, Green, Yellow and Green?
Conrod codes: A2 A2 A3 A2, which translate into, Yellow, Yellow, Brown or Green?? and Yellow

Please confirm A3 conrod code, Brown or Green?

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Emiel

True, yellow is not easy, CMSNL has them, but I just bought them in France from ebay.

Do you advise to renew the expensive conrod bolts (stretch bolts) of just re use them on my stock bike?

Or go for the new cheaper version (stiffer) bolt 13213-KVO-000?

I searched the forum for a answer on the bolts, but people say yes or no.

No nut lock needed. Make sure the threads are clean and dry, a wipe of Graphogen on new shells and torque to spec  ;)
