Is there a difference between Mahle and Kolbenschmidt rod bearings?

Is one preferred over the other?

Not really, plus they may be made in the same factory.

Silverlines suck.

Silver lines are a brand?

These days most are equally worthless.. We try to work from old stock, go to thesamba or ebay and see if you can find some NOS bearings.

We just pulled a Chinese cylinder out of a brand new set of Mahle P&Cs that were unopened today. Quality is gone across the board.
