Yes that is correct, its brand new crank. KS would be great or genuine german mahle.

They are no longer made.If you´re lucky you may find someone who has some originals in stock.Glyco is a good alternative though.

Hello Brent

I can deliver KS -sorry no mahle- in the dimension you need, I'll pm you details

Ok, can you please verify that they are actualy geniune "german" ones and not brazillian? They are going in a high rpm, arpm cased race engine. I need highest quality. Whats you thoughts on Glyco as an option? Regards Brent

O.K. I will check this out, the glycos appear also a very good choice, we run them on our drag car with no problems although there is a slight diffrenece in the tolarances between them and the others, if I'm not mistaking they gave in general more tolerance than the others which was more favorable for our application, but problem is you have to have all the bearings available to decide which one to use, we had mahle, ks and glyco and the glyco was the one with the biggest tolerance so we decided to go with this but probably this is a unique case, maybe this is not a rule for the glycos I couldn' tell

Hi Dimitrios, One would asume they will be steel back as well? Cheers Brent

Yes,the Glycos are steel backed.Dimtirios is right about the tolerances,however, cases also have tolerances,especially if the case is a used case.

ok thank you, yes i can see he is experianced and i am taking on board all his responce. Regards Brent

Hello Brent

I asked my guy and the package is seen as made in Germany, so I suppose are the right ones, cheers

Ok thats great, seems we have a deal there.....

I am also after some quaility cam bearings, would you have some genuine german made std cam bearings as well? Regards Brent

My engine builder has asked for double thrust cam bearings... Ta Brent

I will never use anything else other than double thrust cam bearings.Jake Raby sells them and they are made of steel.Excellent quality.You can order them with DLC coating also.

I will check them out, however i feel lucky to have found some genuine german KS ones
