I guess it had to had happen. Going looking for all the old German bearings for next engine build. These are new camshaft bearings. Do not know if they are steel backed or not. The Mahle bearings from Brazil are copper backed. Silverline is the only current manufacturer that are steel backed.

The bean counters at Kolbenschmidt must be having a ball.
At least Silverline is readily available, even Rockauto carries them if you search by part number. |
