Title: another dumb idea
Post by: CRX304 on May 15, 2010, 10:57:36 PM

So I broke ringlands in my stock LS and pulled the pistons/rods (boosted 20psi for too long... 60/63)

bottom rod cap bearings are perfect.... top rod bearings show slight wear... but VERY usuable

my question is.... Has anyone reused and swapped the top to bottom rod bearings??? and if so, what were ur results?

Bad idea.  Some engines have a groove in the top half that the bottom doesn't (6 bolt 4G63, others) and swapping them eats the bearings.  Second, worn bearings are worn, you'll just have problems pretty quick.  BTW upper half rod bearing wear is a sign of detonation.

Sir, I've seen very good bearings sell super cheap.  See what the local quick rip china parts store has, check rockauto.com, etc.  You can put in good bearings for less than $60.
