Hey I just got in my ARP pro series rod bolts and I didn't think to look at the bearings till now so I wanted to know if this looked normal and would probably be alright? It's going to be a stock shortblock and i'm going to push it as far as I can get away with. I don't plan to be running a stock shortblock for more than maybe a year or less. I'm only asking here because i'll be boosting this motor.

Also if I should replace them what are the boosted guys running? I was thinking the Clevite 77 H in Standard size?

Only took a picture of 1 of them since they pretty much all like exactly like this.

Clicking the picture will bring up the clearer view of it. If anyone thinks this really doesn't belong here move it I guess.

Looks toast to me.....like your into the steel backing. If so, it won't last long like that. Are those stock GM bearings?

Yeah these are the stockers. 50k miles on it I was told. The bearings are still pretty thick but I didn't know what the markings meant. So I should probably order new ones I take it. The crank looks fine. Not scored annd smooth.

Thats the lower bearing 1/2 in the cap, right? What does the upper 1/2 look like?

I think i'm just going to get new bearings. Its only going to be about 70 dollars why not.

These look good?
