[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 17000918, member: 117234"] You're not building an all out race engine, keep the bearing clearances within the oem spec. I personally am a fan of King SI bearings. They are considered a stock replacement and they've always measured properly for me. Make sure you triple check every clearance. If you don't have access to a dial bore gauge buy one especially if you plan on doing this again. If you use T-gauges or snap gauges and a standard micrometer don't snap them into the bearing, guide them in slowly or you'll dimple your bearings. For your rods and mains plastigauge is actually a decent final check. I've tested it against a dial bore gauge and it was darn close and showed I was at least within the clearance limits. Just make sure your using the correct one for the dimensions your dealing with. [/QUOTE]
