jumpbike Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've been searching away reading posts from back in the day and still can't get my head round using plastigauge. So you squish it between the bearing and the crank or what not, so if I get standard size ACL's and then check the clearance and its out, then what? Do I have to get the crank reground to suit the next size of shell, in the mean time I've got a box of bearings that I've now opened and soiled. Is it rare that standard size wont work if there's no visible damage and it's just to make sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) They do other sizes apart from stock,025/.25 over, actually you do know acl have gone bump? or get another crank if yours is worn.

jumpbike Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 I know but the over sizes are if it's been ground aren't they, or if it needs a grind. I heard they were going bump like 4 years ago, seemed to be dragging it but plenty still on shelves I seen. I think my question is do most people get away with standard size and just check for peace of mind or is it very common to need resizing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I went for standard size clevite bearings but my crank is new, with a used crank can you not order Toyota specific sized shells for each journal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpbike Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 I noticed a lot of posts from chris Wilson about these numbers are specific when the crank is unused in the factory as they are insignificant differences, a worn crank they wont make any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I'm not sure to be honest my crank isn't factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
