[N197TR4 at cs.com]

We have had them in our engine for about three years. 

I am looking for the spec sheet on them.......somewhere on my computer.

They require grinding the crank to another dimension so you can use Chevy 
Bearings (cheap & good) (Clevite 777?)

They also need to be rebushed with good bronze bushings.

Spacers need to be produced to center the rod in the piston.

I adjusted the pressure on the oil pressure regulator up slightly to get it 
back to the same reading, as it is narrower at the low end.

I'd have to say that I am pleased with Uncle Jack's research leading to 
this change.

There are some one time costs, but that should settle out to bearing 
replacement.

I think the Clevite bearings about $25 for a set of eight.
