Bearing Set

I want to order a main bearing set for my SR20det, but my mechanic is telling me that I must wait for him to give me the bearing sizes before I order. Wont I get the right sizes if I get the set?

The mechanic needs to measure the required bearings as the crank may need a polish.

U have to wait cause he has to measure the wear on the crank

My mechanic and his suppliers are taking eons to get it, I talked to his supplier today and I waited till end of today to give me feedback, now I just want to order it online, i have been waiting over a month now to get my car back. What do you suggest?

waiting a month is like nothing compare to what we have waited^^ do it right so take the crank to the bearing works yourself^^

Forgive me for I am a noob, but do they make a bearing specially for your crank or what?

YES, any bearing works can do it... and it cheap like hell~ i think i paid R200 for the for all the bearings inside the engine...
i have a cut crank so i need custom bearing sets...
