The main bearings are the same. Use LS rod bearings.

^ I was wondering if you could do that with LS rods, thanks. According to Omnimans 200whp b16 build that dyno'd 206 whp; it's better to use the GSR rod bearings. They're designed to handle high rpm better than LS bearings which made sense to me. Although I wouldn't exactly take my word over b19coupe, I've never built a motor.

I would only use GSR rod bearings if im trying to find the very last Horse power that the engine can make, other than that LS rod bearings are fine.

Aftermarket LS bearings, as the OE are not too durable. If you insist on OE then get B16a bearings
