reusing engine bearing
reusing engine bearing I was wondering what the correct way to clean engine bearings would be. The engine was assembled anfd installed in car with no intake. when I bought the car I took it apart to clean mild water damage to lifter valley and inspect. I have cleaned all rust and hottanked engine and am working on reassembly. I pitched cam bearings but am wanting to reuse main and rod bearings. They are all still matched up to where they were in engine just need to get oil and assembly lube cleaned up. Thanks Jeff
They are clevite hseries bearings and its never been started. Does that change anything or should i just chuckem. Thanks for the fast replies. Im on a tight budget cause im adhd and get too many projects going at once. Thanks again guys

I have reused engine bearings in mine with 1500 miles on them.
Clean them, if any scuffs on them use Scotchbrite and smoothe the marks down. As long as the marks dont catch a fingernail leave them alone.
