Open the link and you will understand "all the talk about changing them". If motor is stock or Stage I, I would not be too concerned about the INA bearings but once upgraded with cams, more displacement, more compression, etc. changing to the full compliment bearing is a smart move while in the cam chest.

My 2003 took the Koyo B-148. But I don't know what year you are looking for bearings for.
