Your killing me with the ebonics. Please don't tell me that you talk like that.

Anyways, if the bearings are plastigauged to the loose side of specifications, you shouldn't have a problem. Just don't be revving the engine to 10k without the proper reinforcements down there. A girdle, stronger rod bolts, and a balanced rotating assembly should help avoid any problems.
