grab a set of oem bearings and plastigauge it after you take some emery cloth to the crank to remove any garbage, if theres no gouges in the crank that catch your fingernail and the plastigauge shows its within spec, id see no problem in re using any of that, i ran mine very little just to move it up to the garage after i lost oil pressure and the bearing was destroyed, seems like he may have caught it early enough.

How do the mains look?

I think I'll try that and see if everything is in spec. I just remember reading that replacing a messed up bearing without really know why it went bad isn't the best idea. This is also going to be my daily driver once its up and running so I'd hate to have another rod bearing go out in a month or two and not have a way to get to work.

I didn't look at the mains. You guys think I should?
