Has anybody tried Rockauto for main and rod bearings? https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...n+bearing,5220 https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...d+bearing,5212

I've bought from rock auto for other vehicles and have had a pleasant experience with them. Quality to be expected from OEM equivalent supplier.

FYI, the only bearings I found that were reasonably priced were from King bearings.

Every other set was insanely priced. You can find both through Summit Racing I believe.

Rod bearings $49.97
Crank Bearings: $99.97

FOP Euro... FAP Euro... Tomato, tomahto...

FCP Euro is what you mean.

And by the way, remember that Rock Auto is a store not a manufacturer; as is ebay, Amazon, Walmart or AutoZone. They just sell parts, expensive or cheap - whatever you want. So when people say, "I bought ebay springs," ebay had nothing to do with the parts except putting them in their store window. Same with Rock Auto. (And if you look, there are cheaper prices - for the same parts that are available everywhere - than Rock Auto...)

Oh I get that. I was more concerned in the quality of the brand they were selling.

Just as an FYI, most of us have used the King's for our performance builds. And buying from a reputable vendor like RockAuto or Summit should ensure that they are actually Kings.
