Default Speed Pro 7100CH bearings

I just wanted to make sure Speed Pro 7100CH bearings are ok to use, according to someone they ruin every engine and cause low oil pressure.

Long story short a customer needed a set of LS rod bearings urgent overnight, I shipped him speed pro bearings and his engine builder says they're bad quality bearings.

If theirs an issue with Speed Pro 7100CH bearings please bring this to my attention.

Thank You

I have been running these bearings in all the LS performance engines I have done and they have never caused me an issue, boosted or NA.

The Speed Pro 152M main bearings can sometimes contribute to low oil pressure issues, the rod bearings have worked well for me.
