OK, peanut here. I believe Glyco is or was an OEM supplier for Porsche.
They did have an issue with runs in the bearing coating for 911s that got out to the public some time back. With that in mind, I'd look carefully at the bearings before use. |

I am surprised that none of teh experienced builders have chimed in. captn crusty? Jake? i think Glyco was before his time I have been told that these have a thicker hard metal backing that is good for higher hp applications |

I had .010 under Glycos in my first 2.7L.....10-11 years back. When I took it appart 7 years later they looked great. Imagine my surprise when the prices went up 8-10 fold for those bearings....Glyco had quit making them and they were ony available from Porsche. Bought a std/std crank, had it maged & polished, bought std/std Glycos and saved a couple thousand bucks.
Anyone need a good .01/.01 9eleben crank? |

Since it 's almost impossible to find any T4 std/std bearings, how bad could they be?

I used them and sold them for years, in VW's, Porsches and Mercedes trucks. OEM quality and no complaints ever.
