If its not spun now, a standard size bearing will replace it just fine. put in some rod bolts while you are there for another 70 bucks and spin that bitch hard. Main bearings hardly EVER let go. Its always rod bearings.
I have always run the longer PF61 truck filters and add a quart over full when im on the track. Ive never spun a bearing in my motors yet. I just break pistons with too much powa!

Very good info, I might need to consider this.
