need help choosing main and rod bearings
hello i have a 01 c5 with a ls6 block a couple weeks ago i had a ls7 lifter fail it collapsed. i pulled the cam and the cam bearings have groves in them i also have metal in my oil so the engine is coming out and getting sent to the machine shop for all new bearings im not sure witch ones to choose i have heard king, clevite H, clevite P, are good not sure what i should get or some other brand. the car has stock ls6 crank, forged pistons and rods with a novi 2000 running 11 pounds of boost and makes 605 whp i want to put something in there that will last.

All the suppliers you listed have comparably good products, for what it's worth I just had my shortblock rebuilt and had the machine shop use King coated race bearings...... Very satisfied so far
