with stuff like that, i always go with "you get what you pay for" and im sure for 450bhp, you dont want to be cutting corners. will just cost you more in the long run!

ok thanks for the heads up, dont realy fancy building it twice

[willg54]

someone may have a definitive answer though... thats just my thoughts!

If they are Kolbenschmidt as the box suggests then they are good quality bearings.

i agree if they are what the box says then thy are ok

KS spatters are good

It would be worth checking that you are actually receiving KS bearings. If so, they are fine. Get the part number from the seller to see if they are spatter type. Not sure how the price compares to other sources?

Its in the ballpark for a set of decent rod bearings, more expensive than the Glycos anyway. Might be worth getting them off a UK supplier so you have backup & comeback if they are incorrect, faulty etc. Just my 2c

I have a set of both mains and big end KS bearings coming up fo rsale soon, in 0.50 big end and 0.25 in mains that I bought from Pete at Quattro corner.I also have the crank which is ground to take them. These where for my rebuild.but Alered had a crank for sale that was standard,and had some work done on it,so I used that in stead.
