I'm looking for a set of std size main bearings for my '72 1.7. Mahle part 021 198 481 A. Every single parts supplier I've found online (and my local machine shop) says they are out of stock. Are they NLA or something? There has to be some sitting in a warehouse somewhere...
Anyone have any insight into this situation or potential source for me? Thx |

Silverline is out of business. Last set I bought the nose bearing was oval.
You really should have your case checked before you order bearings. I'm hanging on the sets that I have. AA website says they do have bearings. Here is a link.AA type 4 main bearings |
