Bearing choice overload
 

Help me narrow things down, guys. I have a 2004 LM7 that will be maybe 1 step above stock when all is said and done. (BTR truck cam being the main upgrade) For bearings, I'm looking at:

Cam Durabond CHP23T for the coating
Main Clevite MS2199P trimetal
Rod Clevite CB663P trimetal. I'm thinking that I don't need the extra oil clearance, doweled etc. versions


I've seen some build threads that used the Durabond cam bearings in particular. Any thoughts on my selection? Thanks.

cam CHP23 are a very good set.
Also can use CHP 25 which are wider for more bearing area.

I don't really like the P series much from Clevite. H series run much better tolerances and clearances are very consistent.
King also have very decent sets of main/rods for the LS engine.

For a stock rebuild type deal, the main and rod bearings from the GM dealer are also usually very good on clearance and tolerance. Decently priced as well. I believe they are the federal mogul pieces.
