Plz help!! Main bearing won't fit flush!?

[persain48820]

Starting the assembly on my h22 and my ACL main bearings won't fit. I flush the notch with the bearing in the grove of the bearing journal and the opposite side is about a 1/2 inch above the other side. If anyone has any insight, please let me know something!

Sure you got the right bearings?

I do remember specifically telling FRSport.com I needed them for a H22a4. The block is from a 97. I ran the model number on the box 5M1957H-STD, and it pulled them up for a H22a4: http://www.aclperformance.com.au/us/...Bearingsus.htm

It seems that they are 55mm and not 50mm...

Yea those are def 55mm. I have the same ones for the F23.

The 97 block still uses 50mm mains. Looks like you have some 55mm bearings which was used on the 98+ preludes. Go grab another set of bearings and slap it all together. Good luck.

The bearings you ordered are for a usdm h22a4 they use 55mm mains, you probably have an older or jdm h22 right? use 50 mm mains I believe
