Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

I don't plan on trying to *bend* any of my cranks in the near future,
so these will do until I decide to build a racer.

Re: Type lV Main Bearings Are Back
From what I was told when I called, the Silverline bearings in STD/STD are in the mail, arrival around 7 to 10 days ?christo wrote:Good day to all here, So where are these Type 4 main bearings ?
It seems No one will step up and say I have them and compared them to KS or Mahle
So, Step up to the plate Moderator "Type 4 Unleashed" and let us know if Standard/standard main bearings are available.
or 10/10 brgns.
I have some Brazilian Steel Backed KS std case/.010 mains.

Re: Type lV Main Bearings Are Back
Hi Richard, Was it the Easter Bunny that told you the bearings ARE in stock?
I don't see them listed on your website
Could you point in in the right direction for Standard/Standard main bearings?
Thank You, Christo

Re: Type lV Main Bearings Are Back
Excuse me....
I have been to EVW Website.
They DO NOT LIST ANY TYPE 4 main bearings
That's why i asked the question Who has standard/standard type 4 mains.
if i have a Student ask me a question then, I better have an answer for them.
And not the abstract runaround .

Re: Type lV Main Bearings Are Back
EMW does/has a LOT of stuff that hasn't made it to their website.
They have been doing T4s since the 70s, so they have probably BTDT/have it regardless of the largely ignored website.

Re: Type lV Main Bearings Are Back
Building a sweep-the-floor motor perfect for testing the Silverlines out...
A couple weeks back, i called EMW, and they didn't have any.
I gave them my phone number, and haven't heard back.
Also got on AJ's waiting list for the Std/Std Silverlines then, and still no reply there either...
Now, maybe something has changed in the last few weeks, but, if you actually go looking for them, no dice.
At least that's my experience so far...
