Ok guys I have a 2002 Camaro 5.7, with approximately 115k miles. I already bought a new set of prc heads and cam, rocker arms, lifters oil pump and gaskets. I’m installing new cam bearings since I can see pits and copper on the old ones. Cylinder walls still have light cross hatches no signs of putting or scoring. So the question is, I’m thinking about installing new piston rings and new bearings for the main and rods. Which brand of rings do you all recommend?

 

With only 115k miles, unless something is clearly wrong, DON'T TOUCH THAT SHORT BLOCK!
These engines go 300k miles all the time. Cam bearings always show copper. They're fine.

 

all five cam bearings look like that, and I included my stock cam. Since I’m doing a cam swap, and I saw my bearings looking like that I thought of replacing them, let me know what you think.

 

That cam bearing looks fine. Better than most.

Leave it alone, don't poke the bear.

 

👍👍👍👍thanks I’ll start putting it all back together. I had bought a set of Dura bond bearings, I was just a bit skeptical because I still would need a tune.
