Audi 20v Crank & Rod Bearings?
Posted: Thu Jan 26, 2017 4:55 pm
I've got an Audi 3B engine I'm rebuilding and my machinist says I've got to grind the crank and get 0.010 inch (or 0.25mm) undersized bearings for the rods and mains.
Do most 2.2L 5 cylinder older Audi engines share crank and rod bearings?
I haven't yet found any bearings listed specifically as 3B 0.010 undersized bearings yet, but I do see bearings for the JT 20v 2.2l engine.
I also see different materials available, A series aluminum, H series tri-metal, P series tri-metal. So being such a newbie, I'm properly confused as to what I need.
If I have to, can I use different materials, like, A series aluminum for the main bearings and P series for the rods?
Does anyone have any tips on how to go about this?
The engine will remain in stock or near stock trim/power level for the foreseeable future.
Thanks!
