    Shells, mains and rings...

    What do people use? Where is best to buy them?

    KS? Glyco (sp.)?

    Cheers in advance.

    I found this site yesterday, they have the KS ring sets, mains and BE shells and the prices look pretty good to me

    Saw.com has successfully helped thousands of buyers acquire the perfect domain name. Interested in OEMPARTS.CO.UK? Let's get started.


    You want the more expensive ring sets

    EDIT: IIRC they are the tapered ones with the moly inlay and chrome faces - much more hard wearing

      I got the cheaper KS rings without knowing there were options. They have lasted well so far at 400+ hp and were properly abused with RS2 spec.

      I have Glyco sputter big ends and mains. KS or Glyco will do the job for you.

            The KS stuff is cheaper than I expected to pay. Need to find OE and Glyco prices...

                        What's better, Glyco or KS? Or are they equal?

                            Jp recommendations ks. Both are good I think as long as the thrust bearings are separate

                              I went with Glyco after hearing positive results, bought off Aelred as well.
