Im looking to do a rebuild on my LS1. I had plans on goning big with this motor but now my ideas have changed. I think I am leaning more on the handeling side of the car. Most of my money is going to be going to a t56 swap and suspension mods so I want to keep the rebuild budget friendly. The motor is ALL stock in the bottom end but the top end has been 90% upgraded. The stock heads have had a 5 angle valve job, 2.02/1.60 valves,healthy port work and have been milled .10. It has a comp cam (lost cam card) comp pushrods, Patriot dual gold springs, stock lifters, stock rockers, SVO 42lb injectors, port matched Wieland intake, aftermarket fuel rails with braided fuel lines with aeromotive fuel pressure regulator.

I plan on upgrading the lifters to the LS7 lifters, and i might spend a little coin and upgrade the rockers to either harland sharp or something like those. I also plan on going with a melling oil pump and just a factory replacement timing chain (ideas?).

My question is what are some good main, rod, and cam bearings to go with (budget friendly) and also what kind of rings should I go with? I have been doing alot of searching and am SOOO confused with all the different parts there are out there to choose from.

Personally I like King bearings ,,,,,,,they have a higher % of silicon and are formable yet strong . Rings I could'nt tell You much about .

 

Dura Bond Coated Cam Bearings part number# CHP10T

 

I'll +1 the King bearings recommendation, I've used 3 sets and they mic right on the money. Nicer alloy is a bonus.

 

thanks for the replies guys....do you have a link to where i can find the King bearings?
