The mains still have original bolts. If i replace them with ARP stuff, will it need to be alignhoned with new bolts?



If you stud them, yes. Someone else will chime in for bolts.

Why are you inspecting the bearings? Low or no oil pressure?

If there are problems and you race it, pull the whole motor down, clean and inspect. Only way to be sure and not blow it up later.
