I want to replace my rod bearings. They show minimal wear, but they are cheap and already out. Clevite shows aluminum and tri-metal versions, with the aluminum slightly more expensive. Which should I get?

stock bearings are aluminum. Tri-metal bearings traditionally carry more load when measured in psi. Be aware alot of tri-metal bearings are considered high performance. These bearings will have more eccentricity than a stock bearing (clearance at the parting line). This will effect overall oil clearances, be sure and check them.

Depending on your goals, stock replacement bearings will adeqaute and easier.
