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.

in the 19th century, "made in germany" meant junk. believe it or not.
after WW2, "made in japan" meant the same thing. whether china goes forward the same way remains to be seen. given they have successfully landed on the moon (ok a robot but...) and are chasing the usa to mars, i'd say there is a fair chance they can produce military grade quality when they want to and at least for their own consumption. i heard there were fake bosch spark plugs floating around a few years ago. the electrodes broke off and i leave it your imagination as to the consequences. |
