Use genuine Honda bearings.

I have heard the same....Honda OEM bearings are super-duper :)

OEM bearings!?! were talking JE pistons, eagle
H beam rods, total seal rings, 20 thousanths bore over with ported and polished head, valve job, springs and retainers with a 150 wet shot of NOS and i can use stock bearings? :eek:

i have a hard time believing that.

perhaps you'll find this article interesting:

I'm interested in what the detailed specs of your engine are. If you'd care to take the time to fill out the following list (or at least as much as you know the answers for), I'd appreciate it greatly.

1) what is the peak power output of your engine?
2) what rpm does peak power occur at?
3) what is the peak torque output of your engine?
4) what rpm does peak torque occur at?
5) what rpm is the engine limited at?
5) what is the bore?
6) what is the stroke?
7) how much do your pistons weigh (including rings)?
8) how much do your piston pins weigh?
9) how much do your conrods weigh (including bearings)?
10) how long are your conrods?
11) what is the piston pin outer diameter?
12) how long is the piston pin?
13) what is the diameter of the hole through the piston pin?
14) how wide is each piston pin boss (the part where the piston meets the piston pin)?
15) are there bushings in the pin bosses?
16) what is the diameter of the crankpins?
17) how long are the flat portions of the crankpins (between the fillets)?

thanks in advance...

Why? You're using the stock crankshaft.

Look, if you plan on making high amount of torque from the motor, more oil pressure is what you need to protect the bearings. Any bearing, regardless of material makeup, will fail if it repeatedly takes a pounding due to insufficient oil pressure for the application.
