OEM VS. Aftermarket Bearings

[dsmdude]

or you can order clevite and pay for clevite through sbr like i did and they will send you some cheap no name crap bearings instead. then when you call them back and ask them why they sent you the wrong ones you can listen to them tell you how these crappy ass no name bearings "are softer" and "better" than the clevites (aka because we have these in stock and we send you whatever we feel like sending you)

ohh yea, for the question asked- i have used topline, cleavite, and acl with good luck and always use standard size or get a different good crank. i've heard of some horror stories when cutting down the 4g63 cranks something about the outer few thousanths of material being nitrate hardened or something.

Cant you just get it re-nitrided? Isn't that one supposed way to "fix" crankwalk? New bearings, nitride coat the 2g crank, blah blah
