hey guys just need some assurance. im building my bottom end for turbo..i have vitara pistons and eagle h-beam rods. now what bearings do i need, says color coded where is that and do i need to do anything before i instal the pistons and rods..im not boring and the walls are great.help

 

what berrings? I like clevite

 

While you're in there you should pull out the oil pump and bore the ports to clean up that bottom end oiling issue.

 

what oil issue. and im using honda bearings

 

the y8 has bottom end oiling issues due to a not so efficient oil pump setup. It'd be sad to see all those nice new parts go to hell because they're not getting enough oil.

 

ok ill do that anyting else? do i lube the piston rod bolt or just tap it together?

 

You'll want to take the oil pump out, and bore it's ports so that you get more flow through them. It doesn't take much, a little bit goes a long way.

Are you planning on running a y8 head too?

 

yeah i have a y8 head. thats all set

 

Might want to consider moving to a z6 head, it's a little easier to tune, and you can squeezea few more reliable ponies out of it. Just a thought
