Hi Scott - been a while,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
RE: bearings - The general rule of thumb I've allways went with was------ hard crank, soft bearings--------soft crank , hard bearings.
You can run hard/hard or soft/soft combos but you will have to clearance the bottom end too loose for my tastes.
A combo that seems to be popular right now is a Scat or Eagle crank (soft) together with Clevite 77's. (hard,hard)
I just stuck a set of stock rod bearings (over and unders, 2.2 Chev) on my Bryant forged crank this summer.
Lessin' someone tells and explains to me a better way that's where I plan to stay for a while too.
