Default Are bearings...

Manufactured in pairs?

If so... if they are seperated from their mate and mixed and mingled with another half are they a lost cause?

I'm just checking to make sure I'm in the clear. Dropped the main bearings into the block, got ready to crank the cap onto number 1 to check ID... Dirty threads, decided to clean em out. Decided it'd be best to pull the bearings and put them back in the box. Forgot if I paid attention to what came from where putting them back in the box...

I don't think so. While I would avoid mixing as much as possible, it IS an accepted practice to use a std. upper with a .001" lower to fine tune clearance.

RACE ON!!!

They are all the same they come stacked in the small box, so your randomly pairing them in the first place.

Just ensure clearance if you have some kind of radiused crank
