Did you know that toyota engines are blueprinted from the factory? If you call the dealer for the bearings they will ask you for codes that are stamped into the engine in various places. Do you think the aftermarket bearings will be correct if the dealer has to ask for these codes to get them correct? Unless you are cutting the crank I'd stay OEM.

don't change your bearings unless you're doing a full rebuild.

i have King Race bearings in my 2.1L stroker and they are very high quality bearings. the OEM bearings are aluminum, the King bearings are a tri-metal bearing.
