I know that in any of the really important areas of the car, we always try to use German parts.  But I don't think that Kobelschmidt makes a double thrust cam bearing set.  Am I wrong?  What brands of bearings have proven successful in a performance oriented motor?  I want to buy once, and enjoy the car.  Not have to repeat the job in short order because the bearings were garbage.


Thanks!

I thought I had KS bearings - but only the mains and rods.

I had Mahle double thrust bearings for the cam.  Roll Eyes

I am a year plus with several Cali trips, TX, Yuma, Anzo-Borrega etc. as well as Vegas driving all the time and my engine is pumping like new Smiley

Sweet!  Those are all the same bearings I've got for my engine now too.

How you been Greg?  Haven't seen you in a while!  BTW, where the heck is Anzo-Borrega? Cheesy
