 |
|
I just got word from EBS that the .25 OS main bearing supply is exhausted. They are contemplating ordering another run from King but wanted to gauge if there is sufficient demand to warrant another run.
Normal price is $125 per set. If we can get a minimum of 10 orders, the price can come down about 20%.
Please post interest.

I bought one of their last sets, and wonder why one would buy a stock/normal set? After wear and tear on cranky and rods, wouldn't an oversized bearing be required? Reason I ask, is I bought a stock set as well!

Both of my stroker cranks were in spec, so I only needed STD for them. I do have an add'l crank on the shelf that will probably require .25 OS if I ever get around to using it. It all depends on the condition of your crank and how well it was cared for in its previous life, I guess!

I have a set of .50 OS on the shelf. Kolbenschmidt. I won't be needing them so they're available. I'll sell at the same price as the King ($125).

i have a "new" engine now and it seems i will need main bearings for it because one of them is missing(got the engine in a bag) so it seems that i will need a set of main bearings..but i'll have to take the block, crank and rods to the machine shop to see what exactly i need...i'll let you know soon..ish

Just the mains. I don't have any extra rod bearings on the shelf, and I'm not sure if .50 are available...

Hi Dan
I'd have to let them go, the big ends are going to be the ones more in need of a grind then the mains, espically in a race car!
Thanks anyway
Daniel
