Crank Half Shell Bearing Size

(1/3) > >>

Mr-Gear:
Hello!

I need a little help selecting and getting crankcase half shell bearings:

From the pictures attached - I think I need 2 blacks, 6 greens and 2 browns.

The problem I have is sourcing black bearings and DSS has both the Brown and greens. Are the browns a close enough match to use instead of blacks if i'm lucky or should I halt my rebuild until blacks eventually turn up?

Thanks in advance, Ryan.

Mr-Gear:
Well bugger me, Ok I see, I was looking (and confused) by one of the tables in that PDF cb350/400f shop manual floating around and checked it in the haynes manual and you're right oddjob, Thanks for that. probably should have checked the haynes manual first.

Ok so is it wise to use browns or greens in place of blacks or yellows? or should I leave it until I can find either of the two which isn't ideal really as I don't have an infinite amount of time to store the bike where it is

Thanks, Ryan

If you want accuracy,  best use plastigage

Mr-Gear:
Ok, Really Appreciate the help and information. Thanks for the replies.

The manual shows the shells to have a tolerance range. so I think I'll get some plasti-gauge and see what measurements I get and go from there.

Thanks, Ryan.

Mr-Gear:
Hey Oddjob,

Just flicking through the manual again and I was hoping you could shed a little light on the extract highlighted from the manual attached below? Little confused by that.

Thanks, Ryan.
