2 motivations behind this thread.

first, to get a list of stuff/part numbers in one place for those interested in building their own motor.

and second, i'm build a motor and want to know <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

We all know you need the big stuff, block, crank, pistons, rods, heads, cam.

but how about the little stuff. gaskets, fasteners, bearings, rings, etc.

first off, i know ARP is making main and head fasteners now

http://www.arp-bolts.com

head studs
hex nuts - 234-4110
12-point - 234-4316

main studs
234-5608

what have people used for bearings, mains and rods? Cam?

For the new multilayer head gaskets in '02, same for both heads.
12565390 for 5.7L
12565391 for 4.8/5.3L
12565392 for 6.0L

anybody else? <img src="images/icons/cool.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

Rod bearings are Small Block Chevy, take your pick. In my case,

Clevite 77
CB663P

I got GM main & cam bearings due to availability, but they cost about 3 times what you should pay even from a discount dealer.

GM:
88890525 Front 4 main bearings
12369542 Rear main
(I don't have the boxes from the cam brgs, those
were installed by the machine shop)

ARP & Katech have rod bolts, if you're using a stock rod.

Katech:
A2236

Pilot bearing for the back of the crank. That one cost me a day and is much easier to do on a stand.......Hmmmmm..what else?

 

has anyone used those coated bearings from moreperformance. Ive already ordered a set, just wondering if anyone else has used them

 

Wow, You pulled this one from way back there.

 

Federal Mogul now makes Main Bearings.

152M approx $80 for the set.
