i am in the process of sleeving my h22
and just wanted to know if it is recommended to replace the main bearings...
with OEM or can i just reuse the old ones...

BTW, the projected goal is 350-400whp...
if that makes a difference...

thanks

 

you can but its not recomended... would you chance smoking a sleeved block over some cheap bearings?

 

i would replace them if you have it apart.

 

in that case should i go OEM???replace all the main bearings in the bottom end including the connecting rod bearings??..or do they come w/ the aftermarket rods???

 

You gotta buy the rod bearings, I haven't seen any rods that come with bearings. Check out ACL's line of main bearings if you don't want to spend too much money.

Replace the bearings. Check clearances. Most people have no problems with the ACLs size being in spec.

 

use OEM you will be fine

 

I only had a problem with one acl main bearing, the other 4 were fine. Also, the stock bearings are like 10 bucks each, for one half. There's a top and bottom to each crank journal (5) and then you need the top and bottom half for the rods (4).
