DP #24 Engine failure....

Clevitte H's with the ugly looking chemical wash........They didn't alwasy have that blue/ brown look........they were more of a grey/ blue color.

I've tried them all........used those mostly because they are easy to get and reasonably priced and hold up fine....for the most part.

I tried something different in my LT-1 Stocker.....I think they were Federal race bearings......270 degree groove on the mains......that engine went well over 100 runs with no problems and saw over 7000 every run....Car was sold.....

Best bearings I've used on a customers 454 engine.....C&A's.........went hundreds and hundreds of runs with no problems.....and this racer had some failures here and there that was pretty costly. A very heavy car that wheelied all the time.....and could run high 9's.....
