Default Clevite bearings...regular or "H series"?
What is the difference between Clevite regular bearings and race (H series) bearings?

I want longevity rather than a tad more HP if that helps.

Depends on what you are putting them in or on.... what's the crank?

Right now the main concern is the cam bearings. I will be reusing my stock LT1 crank after refresh.

I got the Clevite 77 P Series. Should be more than enough for the street.

I have the same Cam Bearings. Might as well get some good **** in there while you are there. Doesn't hurt, they are like a $10 all together.

I may be getting confused here, are ther three types of Clevite bearings.
The regular, 77P and the H-series for the cam?

I am not so sure about that, Autozone has the regular for $14 and the H-series for $18.00. So what is the difference?
