Rod bearings - Specific Toyota sized or Clevite?

[desertguy]

So here's my question. From searching around I've found that you add the number at the bottom of the connecting rod and the number on the crank and depending on that number (the sum of the other two), you order that bearing from Toyota and it's supposed to be sized specifically for that rod/crank.

Is there a sizable difference between these bearings and aftermarket ones like Clevites? As in can I pick up standard sized Clevite or equivalent and be alright?

Reason I ask is that Toyota bearings are more than double the price of equivalent Clevites and from what I've read Clevites are good bearings. I'm just worried on the fact that there's 6 sizes of Toyota bearings and just standard from Clevite.

Think Id be alright using a standard Clevite set?

Those specs are for the original assembly of the motor by Toyota and chances are the crank/rods are not within those limits anymore; Especially if machine work has been done to the engine before. As long as the crank doesn't need to be ground down, get the standard Cevites and plasigauge them to make sure they're within spec.

Use the toyota select fit system.

i was actually thinking about the same thing the op was. just rebuilt the engine but didnt change the oil pump... i know i fed up... anyway im changing that and the rod bearings so as i was looking at clevites..
1) Better performance than oem?
2) the same spec ? as the op
