Default new bottom end

I am rebuilding my bottom end and was wondering what kind of bearings you guys have used for your rods and mains (with part number if you can). I was also wondering about rings. Also, when i was ermoving my old motor i broke the sensor going into my oil pan, does anyone know where i could buy another one of these?

i'm using clevitte 77 rod bearing were almost $8.00 each plus clevitte 77 main bearings something like $80.00

I would defintly recomend the Melling Select 10552 oil pump
i'm runing the 10555 its 25% more volume but the 10552 is 10% more volum should be great. they are around $70.00

I just finished my short block using clevitte 77 main and rod bearings. I also broke the oil level sensor. Advance Auto sells them.

Clevite makes several different types of bearings such as the A series, P series, H series, and coated H series bearings. Aluminum is stock replacement, P is slightly better and H is more high performance stuff. Clevite 77 is just the name brand.
