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. |

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. |
