When I bought them it was like $410.00(?,I have to check my paypal account for the figure ) for the complete set, rods & mains.
I thought it was a prudent choice, but then after buying them I'm not so sure. If I need bearings, I need a crank...or why am I taking apart a motor that is fine? If the rings are worn, then the bearings are worn also, but will the crank stand new bearings with out any crank work? See what I mean? Now I see why the guys that know say rebuild time? The answer = 368 or bigger. 
Okay, like I said I'll stand by my post! The only caution I have is that I assume that you have been tracking your oil analysis over quite a number of miles?...otherwise, one analysis is worthless as a wear indicator, generally. Make sure the crank journals are up to just a bearing swap or you will have to go back in at a later date and redo it all!. JMHO.

Tom,
Thanks again and I am still trying to figure out what I am going to do and won't know for sure until I get it all apart so no rush. I want to do this right so I will have to check everything out and think about how much to spend. I would like also find out more about WRP bearings too so I have research to do. I cannot do another analysis and that is the first but will have to be my indicator and reason enough to inspect the bottom half. Thanks and Aloha, Craig
