I see you mention the main bearings. The typical replacement people usually do is just the rod bearings right?
main bearings and rod bearing is different things? Sorry if its a dumb question, kinda new to cars.

Yeah for that failed engine I bought it was a main bearing issue. My original engine imploded due to failed rod bearings (as is usual). I put the supercharger on pretty quickly after getting it so didn't realize the rod bearings are an issue so didn't replace them.
Anyway, I'm working with Robert at BEbearings now (who is an awesome guy, by the way) and he's helping me source all my build components. Decided to go with full internals upgrade (low comp pistons, forged rods, VAC mains, BE rod bearings, spec clutch, etc). Keeping the crank though since I'm not stroking it.
Should hopefully have everything in the next couple weeks. Dinan are going to inspect/hone my new block, but I'm doing the engine build itself myself.
Will post up my engine build when I get started..
Thanks!
