Should I replace my head studs? Source for crank/rod bearings?
« on: September 27, 2012, 02:47:15 PM »
Just as the title says... I've read that the head studs get stretched out over time. I'm done a complete rebuild and will be using the ebay big bore kit (comes with a thicker head gasket), cb650 cam, and brand new head nuts (but not new washers). Do I want to risk breaking off any studs or stripping the threads to go with APE studs?

I know that Honda sells the bearings, but are there any aftermarket companies that sell them as well? If not, when buying bearings from Honda, do they come in sets (ex: buying 1 "Bearing A" comes with the top and bottom bearings), or are they all individual?
