big end bearings are praps one to replace as you can do there with the engine and the sump off, and its quite easy to do just make sure u torque them up correctly

Its always good tho to have a nice set of big ends so you no its alot safer when reving hard, for t6he sake of 20 quid i would slap some in as if they do go your lookin at a crank regrind(200) and alot of time rebuilding, and it takes about 45 mins to do, ive done it and i still havnt got my car rebuilt bac up after 4 months
