Bearing replacement

so, my friend keeps on telling me that i need to replace the bearings in my car if i want to keep on having the same luck i am with my motor.
I don't know shit about it, i just figure leave it and when it goes, it goes.
He swears that if i replace the bearings the motor will last even longer.
Opinions? experiences? knowledge?

Thanks

Re: Bearing replacement

I'm a little confused as to what he's talking about, it isn't as if you can just slap in new bearings and call it good.

Re: Bearing replacement

Retarded, if your engine is running fine and holding together don't touch it.

Re: Bearing replacement

Yeah, it is too easy to screw up a bearing replacement, leave it alone. When it blows, then do a full rebuild.

Re: Bearing replacement

thanks guys, thats what i was saying. i mean when it blows up then the fun begins and i can enjoy a sweet power band again.
But i was thinking the same thing about it being too risky compared to just do what i am doing and enjoying it.
Anywho, i have been inspired someway or somehow and i should be making some more progress on my car in the next few weeks.
