I NEED main bearings. standard case, standard thrust, standard crankshaft. I have checked with every supplier in the Houston area along with CIP1, Chirco and Bus Depot No one has any. I don't want to have the crank turned just to be able to get bearings. Does anyone have any other sources for bearings or have a set just laying around???
