ya, on my motor, i didnt want stock bearings, its stupid to do that when you plan to rev almost 9k, and when its a semi built motor.

also got a spec stg3 6puck clutch and new oil cooler with lines.

its not a stupid idea to use OEM bearings in a "built" motor, not at all.

all the different numbers stamped on the crank basically mean all the main/rod journals are slightly different sizes.

using all the different grades supplied by nissan ensures perfect clearances every journal, nissan didnt do that to look cool either.
