Re: Best Place to buy Main/Rod Bearings? Katech Rod Bolts for stock rods are the best.
Federal Mogul is in Chapter 11 right now, but makes most main bearings. Clevite makes good rod bearings. You might be able to get Clevite mains?

Re: Best Place to buy Main/Rod Bearings? How much are they? I would say that if you need a "Pro" type rod bolt you shouldn't be using a stock rod in the first place. Go with the ARP rod bolts ($75) and you will be fine.

Katech says the small end of the rod should shatter before the big end ever comes apart with these.
