Trying to understand who 's doing what and where to buy on the aftermarket. We don't have plenty engine shops around here so want to be sure what they order when the day comes...
I would provide the bearings/bolts to the shop vs have them order them. I did another set of rod bearings this weekend and remembered, yet again, how unlikely it is for any shop to correctly torque the OEM bolts.

There is no such thing as an OEM bearing with extra clearance. WPC slightly increases the clearance, but you're starting at 1/2 of industry average clearance so I"m not sure how that is supposed to move the needle.
