Hi I’m in the middle of rebuilding my RB going into my s13 I spun a bearing in the 1st motor so I went and bought another 1 the issues I’m having is deciding on what brand and clearance to get I’ve heard mixed reviews on the ACL and on the KING bearings. My main clearance on the used stock bearings is .0015in (used plastigauge) the parts going into the motor are

NISSAN JDM COMPLETE ENGINE GASKET REBUILD KIT 10101-17U29
TIMING TENSIONER SPRING
TIMING BELT TENSIONERS 13070-5L300
IDLER PULLEY
NISSAN JDM FACTORY OIL PUMP 15010-5L800
NISSAN JDM PISTON RING SET 12033-21U10
ARP ROD BOLTS ‪202-6004‬ for a VG30
ARP MAIN STUDS CUSTOMRB26MAINSTUDKIT
ARP HEAD STUDS ‪202-4301‬
NISSAN JDM FACTORY WATER PUMP 21010-21U26
NGK COPPER SPARK PLUGS BKR7E
HKS FINE TUNE TIMING BELT 24999-AN001
THERMOSTAT 21200-42L01 - NISSAN 93 300ZX TT
I’m using the stock 25 rods and pistons I won’t be going oversized on anything
I’m also getting the rods resized with the ARP bolt installation does this mean I have to get the bearings shaved down also?

I also got an oem headgasket in the gasket rebuild kit but I wanted to put either a tomei or a cometic gasket for extra strength this is going to be my daily driver and occasional taking it to the track because part time drift car

After doing research I found this useful info

ARP rod bolts 202-6004 for the VG30 are for the RB25DET series 1 the ARP rod bolts 202-6007 are only for the Rb25det neo and RB26 because ARP doesn’t make any for the rb25 HOWEVER YOU MUST GET THE RODS RESIZED

The ARP main stud kit for the RB26 is in fact for the Rb25 you would have to trim part of these bolts for the 26

And the thermostat for the 300zx tt is also for the 25

Thanks in advance for the help and hopefully I returned the favor for others trying to find matching parts
