Those are the Torrington brand main bearings.... Different than a crank bearing that is between the crankshaft halves, beneath the connecting rod.

The main bearings cost ~$80. Yours may be reuseable, but it is a good idea to replace those regardless, since you are in their anyway.

The last stock bearings I bought were about $55 for both. If they are up that high then Id go with SKF's for around $100 .

I bought the bearings for my recent motor from brad at blackwidow and I think I paid less than $70 for bearings and crank seals

Cant say. When we have some go bad I guess we will know.LOL I started using them because of the cage material and clearance fit. Ive seen a lot of the stockers get chewed up and break apart with still good rollers in them. Tim will be installing the first set in a falicon crank that ha been trashing main bearngs. That should be a good test.
