I check it daily. Don't be offended. It's very easy to wind up with Chinese made goods without regards to the name on the box. I think my Eagle crank is machined in America from a blank cast in China or Korea. The new Tacoma Narrows bridge near here is Korean steel. Nothing comparable is available from US manufactures. What a shame.


I have King rod bearings and piston rings. Seems to be a US based company. Clevite makes my mains. They are Mahle which is a German company. Very good product.


Good luck getting your mill back up and running.

This looks like a return that just got put back on the shelf without inspecting it....

I am sure that A-Tech would want to know about the problem..

They have always been a good company to work with in the past...

What was the manufacturing date on the bearings? I agree with Bob, these had to be parts that were returned to A-Tech.


See you at the races,

I'll see if they're still at the shop and check, may have gone back already.

Bob, thats exactly what Atech claimed "it may have been a return". I've just never seen bearings loosely packaged like that before.

King bearings made in Israel.

Simple case of a set Clevite H series bearing out of their original packaging, lets move on to flow numbers and dyno data, and finally track testing data. If you have instant oil to the top of the engine at the hit of pre lubing, thats something you better fix.

VP C-12 is the DEVIL! Heads are rusted like crazy, had to pound some of the exhaust valves off the seat, real bad. Little work on the heads today, going to throw everthing in the washer next week.
