NC30/35 Engine Bearings

Post by g-force performance »

Just as a Heads-Up.

I am currently trying to pin down a quality source to make new rod and main journal bearings for our little engines. I have contacted the original company in Japan that makes the bearings for Honda. I am really hoping they will work with me. Otherwise, I have a couple of other possibilities like Clevite, Federal Mogul or possibly Mahle.

For these companies to take me seriously, my volume has to be large enough. So, I am curious to see how many of you would be interested in bearings if I were to get these done. Also, maybe some of you have some other sources you could recommend.

Looking forward to your response.

I'm working on it. In one case, the price is going to be a deal regardless, if you can't get them anywhere else because they are NLA all over the world.. On the other hand, I am still going to try and get them to be close to the same as OEM. But, that just depends on how many I need to have made.

Also interested in minimum of one set possibly two, keep us updated on times scales and costs. I am ideally building up another motor for the Manx gp when the winter arrives.
