Rod Bearing Kit

I was speaking with a shop in Vancouver to do my Rod Bearing. They told me they will match any online price for the parts and will order them for me and will give me warranty for their work, which is appealing. I was looking for a complete kit and found this:

Is this all I need? Do you guys recommend anything else?

Sounds good about motor mounts.
What bearings are recommended? Also anywhere I can get better price for a better kit / parts?

You should do the job with extra clearance bearings to fix the issue. (BE bearings is one popular brand). Replacing factory bearings with factory bearings does not fix the tolerance issue.

And the required bolting:

Agreed with VR1…BE bearings are the gold standard. $589 is worth the few extra $$ and additional peace of mind. They are the same price everywhere.

Good luck to you!
