Which bearings - P or H? I'm putting together my engine. Need to know whether to use P or H series bearings, or something different. This is street/strip. So I am building it to take some mileage. Here's the parts, in case that matters:
Eagle 4" crank
CompStar rods
Diamond Pistons
GM 6.0L iron block (bored to 4.030")
Which bearings are appropriate?

Yeah all is standard size. Just need to know which one is better for longevity. I seem to remember reading once that the P series will give better oiling, but may not fit on an aftermarket crank.
Oh and remember, this is about both rod and main bearings.

You will have to use H bearings to clear the radius on the crankshaft. Aftermarket cranks have a larger corner radius than stock. Stock cranks can use P bearings because they have an undercut in the corner.
Mr. Wilkes speaks the truth!! We've got both in stock, if I can help give me a call!
