Hi!,
Although the big end upgrade (Sputter bearings) has been discussed, what do people use for the main bearings?
I know Steve H used a different bearing manufacture (Gylcol) for his rebuild recently. The only visible difference was that the thrusts were integral (please correct me if I'm wrong Steve). I had never heard of them before but as they were supplied by a well respected source, I assumed they were up to the job and superior to stock stuff.
So are there upgraded mains in terms of design/materials,(if so, who/what/how much) or are the stresses not so severe as the loads on the big ends?
Be interested to hear what other listers have used on conversions over 380bhp.
Cheers!
