Your mechainc is correct. It will run like a bag of wank if you don't put bearings in it *wink*

In all seriousness, you need mains, big ends, crank thrusts and cam bearings to do it properly.

Mine field lol.

What size are the crank journals? Standard? Has it had a regrind previously 0.010"? does it need a regrind? A+ or A type bearings

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Are Vandervell Bearings still the ones to go for?

Vandervell don't exist anymore its Federal Mogal/ AE. The VP2 bearings are increasingly dificult to find, and my Man now uses ACL.
