This build is pure awesomeness. Very clean and attention to detail. Must be a tech or ex tech?

Awesome man! Well worth the wait.

Can't wait to see some WOT video once you get that tune done. Thing is going to be an aminal.

It sucks being on a base tune and can't play with your new toy lol I know that one all too well right now. Keep that skinny pedal out of it until it's proper - don't want to be a statistic!

:tup: :tup:

Yeah, it's actually pretty easy to stay out of the throttle because I don't want to ruin everything lol. But if/when it makes it off the dyno, I'm going to drive it like I stole it!

Thanks man! There has been many hours of planning, analyzing, and work done to this thing. Believe it or not I have no "proper" training in mechanic work. Most of my knowledge comes from hands on experience from just diving into this stuff. My dad taught me at an early age that if I want to mod cars, I'll save an enormous amount of money if I do it myself. I went from barely knowing how to change oil, to installing one lowering spring on a 2004 Sentra S-ER Spec V. I only did one because I paid a guy to do it for me and they sent me 1 wrong strut. So I ended up doing it myself. The next thing I did was put a turbo kit on the same car with the help of a friend lol. Balls deep from the beginning. It's all just a hobby and fascination. Maybe an obsession lol. Now my professional experience is from Sonic Drive In and being a cop. So if you need someone to make you a #1 with cheese or take a police report for your neighbor leaving bags of dog poo on your front porch, I'm your guy.

I'll take the bags of dog poo on the porch for 200.

Alright guys, I need some help wrapping my head around bearings... I have been beating my head against the wall about this since 7 this morning. I know my measurements, I know what I want my clearances to be, but I have no clue how to get the proper sized bearings.

So, for reference, we will use the stamps on my block and crank. The block for Main #1 is stamped "S". The #1 main on the crank is stamped "M". Here is a picture from the FSM stating measurements and grade of bearing for those particular stamps.

Grade 4 bearing per FSM

Now here is the math.

Someone help me out here. Using the measurements out of the Nissan FSM and math, it says my clearance will be .0007, however the minimum clearance is .0014. What am I missing? This is making it difficult for me to find the proper size bearings I need. The math isn't adding up and it's driving me crazy.

i sent you a pm about bearing sizes,

Thanks :)
