Title: What engine bearings you guys use? Post by: 181 on June 01, 2012, 15:20:20 pm With upcoming refresh of my 2276 I started to investigate what are the possibilities on the market. What main/rod/cam bearings are good these days?

You can also find some old steelbacked K&S. Title: Re: What engine bearings you guys use? Post by: nicolas on June 02, 2012, 06:01:43 am i don't see too many problems with what i use for the rods (even sinter metal or what it is called seems to hold up just fine)
cam bearings may need some filing on the trusts (KS and Mahle), but again no big problem just some attention that it all works and if you are able to find steel backed center bearings i would suggest that. you come across them, but stay away from corroded or tarnished sets as they usually are beyond their expiration dates.

Post by: Greg G on June 03, 2012, 05:09:57 am I try to find NOS steel backed Kolbenschmidt main bearings, but I did try a set of silverline bearings on the last street motor build. I havn't taken it apart, but it has quite a few miles on it so far with out issue.
