Hi all, I'm new here, and I can't find any topic concerning what I had in mind...I've got a gs-r block that I will be throwing civic type R pistons in soon, and my question was do I need or should I replace the main and rod bearings, I'm on a tight budget so I was wondering if it would be safe and reliable to use the same stock bearings..the block has over 100 thousand miles on it and still runs fine... anyone who's done this before or knows anything about this please let me know, thanks.

 

Check for scarring on the bearings..Most of the time you can reuse them but its so stupid not to change them while everything is apart..And if you're tight on money you dont have to get oem honda bearings..Acl bearings are very good and pretty cheap..They come in standard honda green,+0.010,+0.020 sizes..And theres another size they come in to but I forget ,,search for that..But plastigauge your motor and see if the acls are within spec..

 

alright, thanks on that, I'm gonna check up on it and see if it's going to do me any good...that means I won't be able to make my decision until the block is completely disassembled, thanks though bro for the input.
