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.

I can recall a story of the founder of Honda. Back in the 50's and 60's if anything (toys, cars, anything) broke for any reason it had to be "made in Japan". Mr. Honda set his life goal to turn that perspective around, and he has done (with the help from many) his job. Sure, not everything from China is junk, but the impact on global manufacturing is huge.
