Default Coated rod and main bearings.

Gonna go with coated Durabond cam bearings. Does anyone make coated rod and main bearings? Or overkill? Thanx

Thanx brucer. I'm guessing the balancing really isn't going to change much with fresh rod bearings.

if your just freshening it up with new bearings and rings theres no need to balance...

you can have a stock rotating assembly balanced and it will make a stock engine run smoother and rev better.. can help it last longer also..

Default

but then I'll have to get an aftermarket zero balanced flywheel. Doesn't seem like a bad tradeoff.
