Have a set of 6.125” H beam Eagle Honda rods for a small block Chevy on and eagle 45 lbs crank.
Question being does anyone else make bearings aside from the Clevite Cb1780H? , std size.

I believe ACL and King both have tri-metal bearings. But in the coated race only version.
I would call king 1st as they will be less costly compared to the others.

Assuming you have 2.008" housing bore in your rods? Federal Mogul 8-7195CH would also work, I have used hundreds of those.

I have heard that Honda has two different rod journal sizes...

I have a set of Pankl rods with a 1.979 + or - big end. Do these fit a 1.890 rod journal?

Anyone have a part # for a std. rod bearing? Never done this Honda deal before.

Check with Callie’s about their Daido brand bearings. They have a lot of Honda sizes

Is King XP-Series Rod Bearings CR8028XP a direct replacement for the Clevite CB178CHA?
