Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

I want to order a main bearing set for my SR20det, but my mechanic is telling me that I must wait for him to give me the bearing sizes before I order. Wont I get the right sizes if I get the set?

The mechanic needs to measure the required bearings as the crank may need a polish.

U have to wait cause he has to measure the wear on the crank

So when I order I give them the sizes and they gonna adjust the bearings?

i told my mechanic to get the bearing him self... he takes the crank to the bearing works and get the correct size...^^

My mechanic and his suppliers are taking eons to get it, I talked to his supplier today and I waited till end of today to give me feedback, now I just want to order it online, i have been waiting over a month now to get my car back. What do you suggest?

waiting a month is like nothing compare to what we have waited^^ do it right so take the crank to the bearing works yourself^^

Forgive me for I am a noob, but do they make a bearing specially for your crank or what?

YES, any bearing works can do it... and it cheap like hell~ i think i paid R200 for the for all the bearings inside the engine...
i have a cut crank so i need custom bearing sets...

Who to believe? Guess I'll have to do my own research

Well at least here in my coutry (Mozambique) it is cheaper to machine the crank to match the bearings
