Default Replace Bearings with piston swap???
I have a b18b engine that has a newer style valvecover-98
Everything looks in really nice shape in and out.
I am swaping in JDM B16 pistons in on my stock ls rods. Do I have to change all the bearings??? Its about $300 bux for all the parts up here in canada!

I would do it since you are going to have it apart anyway.

You might as well change them since you got them out. Also, if you have time, you should also get the crank polished and balanced.
