ya just pull the bearings (rod, and main) and make sure ur cam is not all scuffed up where the bearings go. If it is u can always use emery(sp?) cloth to smooth and u will be good to go, I had to do that last week and the engine seems alot stronger now. I got mine from bap import auto parts in az for $90 w/oilpan gasket, it took about 2 hrs todo, all of em went right in and its been running like a champ. Even the gas mileage got better, or maybe its cuz im not driving it hard yet
