I know there has been talk lately about the lack of availability of bearing.
This could be the end all of our cars. Can't get hard parts, can't fix the aging engines. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) This is not acceptable. What is the problem? Don't these engines have the same crank shafts and blocks as VW busses? There is like a billion of those arond the world. Is there only one maker of these? Anyone ever thought about approching a manufacturer about producing these? How about a group buy or forming a sourcing committee to pursue manufacturers other than the one that currently stopped making the bearings? There bearings people not plutonium. |

Great info. In the spirit of trying to keep bearing info in one post, let's change the discussion a little now the supply mystery has been exposed.
I had a guy email me awhile back and ask about getting a line bore. When it comes to line boring a type I or Type IV case is there a bearing that is oversize on the outside diameter as well as smaller on the inside diameter? How is a type IV block line bored? I know how a standard cast iron V block or inline block is bored. But the upposed block has to be different with the cam bore and the drop in cylinders. Again, This info is probably in some thread here someplace, just trying to move some of the info to a single thread for easy searching. |
