                I have to replace the rod and main bearings in my 56 Merc.  The engine is in the car.   As I look for the bearings, I find prices from $160.00 from JEG,S to $800.00 at another site.   Does anyone have experience purchasing bearings from other sites.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks Larry

                As of 2/3/25, Summit has the rod bearings (Sealed Power 82000CPA) for $100 per set and the main bearings (Sealed Power 884M) priced at $122 per set.  Prices can get lower than this depending upon shop discounts and/or engine rebuilder warehouse prices.  Here are links to the above mentioned rod and main bearings.

                What about quality? Would I be spending money unnecessarily by buying Clevite main bearings?
