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. |

and of course when (or if) Mahle reintroduces them in February like they said that they would, the prices will be much higher. Hold them off the market for a while so the market starves and then reintroduce them at a much higher price. I am just happy that I could buy the sets I bought at any price.
