Good evening, question, is there any company out there that sells main bearings, that has been modded for oil squirters.

Second question, my main bearings look as if they were made of only aluminum. Greg Riddle modded the bearings, but I am now worried about quality. Any pics of the steel backed ones. Also, what would be considered as the top of the line for type IV main bearings.

I did allot of research on this and its hard to beat the genuine original kolbenschmidt bearings, there are allot of others on the market, in questioning my engine builder , he says you can tell straight away the rubbish ones to good ones by the weight.

Kolbenschmidt GERMAN bearings are the best. However,they have been discontinued a few years ago. Those who have NOS bearings hord them. The current Kolbenschmidt bearings are made in Brasil and are not the same quality.
Silverline is garbage. Glyco is pretty good,they have steel backs and are tri-metal.
