Top Main Crank Bearing/ Rod To Crank Bearings

[mr twister]

TO ALL GURUS,
I HAVE BUILT SEVERAL MOTORS. I HAVE NEVER CHANGED THE UPPER AND LOWER MAIN BEARINGS ON THE CRANK. I LET A FRIEND INFLUENCE ME THIS TIME TO DO SO. ANYONE HAVE AN UPPER CRANK MAIN FOR AN 80' 225 V-6 MERC ? AND A SEAL. IF SO WHATS THE PRICE ?
ALSO ..... THE LAST REBUILD I GOT ROD TO CRANK BEARINGS THAT WERE ALREADY IN THE PLASTIC CAGE. WHO MAKES THOSE?? DO ANY OF YOU HAVE THESE ? AND IF SO...WHATS MY COST ? MY SUPPLIER HAS SIERRA. THEY ARE JUST LOOSE BEARINGS YOU PUT IN YOUR OLD CAGE. SAME AS MERC. EVERY REBUILD GETS THESE NEW.?? YES ?? I ALWAYS HAVE.
ALL REPLIES ARE APPRECIATED .

THANKS,

Plastic cage rod bearings are junk...Pro has a set of good bearings, they call them performance race bearings, but don't cost an arm and a leg...Rickracer can git them for ya!!!....Tha top main is tha small roller type on tha 80' motor, U should change them ever time, they are a week link, merc later went to tha bigger bearing wit small top crank...REX
