What Brand of Bearings Do use?
« on: June 29, 2011 - 08:00:56 AM »
Just want to find out which engine bearings that you find better, the major players seem to have the formula wrapped up for them. I know that there are other brands and if you tick "Other" can you mention what and possibly why.
I know that some have full circle mains others 3/4 circle and again others the old style 1/2 circle.
Thanks for your voting and opinions.   :2thumbs:

I really prefer Federal Mogul. Lots of choices and I never had a problem.
If I cant fix it, it's broke

One of the reasons for asking is that when you go to a seller like Mancini for example they list Federal Mogul but it goes to Sealed power or Speed Pro making me think they may be the same or at least the same manufacturer and the same with Clevite 77 the Michigan 77 comes up as well.    :clueless:

Clevite bought out Michigan 77. And Federal Mogul owns Sealed Power and I think Speed Pro.
