You must replace these.
I mixed and matched ACL bearings from H and HX sets to get to the outer limit of the clearance tolerance for each rod.

I would take it all apart and make decisions based on actual measurements.
I also ordered stock thickness Cometic MLS head gaskets and a set of custom made ARP bolts from Flatirons. PM me if you want details.

Thanks, I will get measurements so long as I have more option than OEM for rings/bearings. Considering I have already spent more than the SVX's worth this month, I am trying to not spend 1k just on parts for this. I plan on getting OEM pistons as I cannot find any viable options (IIRC they are unique for SVX compression).
Are custom APR bolts needed?
