Is there some reason to pull the engine apart? What are your ultimate goals? What is your definition of "full bolt ons". What horsepower are you currently pulling? What are you going to use the car for?

I had a engine noise took apart and the crank and bearings where bad so i purchased a cobra crank in standard and want to buy rod bearings and main bearings that will last and wont have an issue, i daily my car but always on the pedal no track tbh. I have cold air bbk intake, 30 lb injectors, 90mm maf housing, bbk 65 mm throttle, hookr long tubes, non catted x pipe, slp mufflers, aluminum pulleys, ported heads and intake manifold, diablo sport tuner. Looking for the best reliable parts. All internals would be stock.

King Bearings are the most popular for the 4V engine. I believe the MB5283HP for mains is what you want, and for rods CR 868HPN. There are many options. You need to look at the King Bearing catalogue and pick want you want within your budget.

No personal experience, but I've heard good things about King. They were recommended to me for my next build by someone that worked on alcohol dragsters.

I ran Clevites and had good luck with those. Same with Total Seal rings. Stay away from the gapless though. The mod motors don't like them.

Oh thanks appreciate it where can i find the king? And another brand for piston rings?other than total seal

I'd check Summit for the bearings. I've only used Total Seal for my rings. Just get the normal rings.

With all the fake parts floating around these days I would never buy a critical engine part on ebay.

Yes I do. There are far to many counterfeit parts running around. I'd buy from a reputable vendor.
