Rods will suffice, unless there is a reason to do the mains. Good luck with round 2!

Clevitte 77 Rod bearings can be had at Napa, Checkers, prolly autozone too. Look for prices.

Yep - the #1 rerason for premature failures - that I can guess, is starting the engine off the bat without priming the oil first, good and proper. Like I said to Todars, and like I did on my 3L build - I take off the connection to the coil pack once I'm ready to go, and then crank the car over for a good 30secs. This allows the oil pump to get oil every where without any loads form the engine running. THEN you reconnect the coil pack and start it and let the thing idle to it gets warm. Without doing this you are basically putting combustion loads on the mains and rod bearings before there is enough time to get oil to them. This gouges the bearings and then they quickl (50-100miles) fail after that.

umm ... but doing it that way you are flooding the engine and saturating both the pre-cats/main cat and the spark plugs. I have always pulled the fuse to the fuel pump instead ... no fuel pressure = no fuel = no start ... of course, doing both just to be safe that there isn't a "start/stall" condition would probably be best. However, I have never liked the disconnect only the coil method due to fuel fouling issue that can arise.

dont you want to pull fuel pump fuse, the connector to the coil pack, and the plugs i.e. no compression also?

Not unless you want a mess/possible fire. I've never done it to confirm and don't want to take the chance, but my theory is that there is still fuel and residual pressure in the rail and removing the plugs would basically shoot this out of the engine. Maybe remove the plugs after 5 seconds of cranking and then recrank for remainder.

If you crank with the throttle wide open, the fuel is shut off. There is no need to do anything else. Hold the throttle wide open and crank for 30 seconds. Stop cranking. Release throttle and crank again to start.
