Default gsr rod bearings in an lsvtec

ok due to some advice/info that i got from some other posts on here about this subject i went with some topline gsr bearings in my lsvtec. my question is can i take these bearings out and put in OEM LS bearings without having to tear apart the entire motor. the rods were already notched to have the gsr bearings centered on them. thanks

you know that by putting in gsr bearing that you now don't have oil squirters in your lsvtec!

just take oil pan off to change bearings although technically you should make sure the rod notches are facing the right way

i thought that ls blocks didnt have oil squirters to begin with. my question was can i replace the gsr rod bearings with ls bearings by just dropping the oil pan etc.

the reason i have doubt in doing this is because the motor has already been run with the gsr bearings and the rods have been notched for them.

the ls bearings are fatter too, wider across the face of the bearing. In order to run ls bearings if i am not mistaking, you would need to get a ls crank and rods.

im starting to think that i worded my question wrong cause that does not really pertain to me. i have an ls crank and aftermarket ls rods hence "lsvtec"

i give up
