Bonze Main Bearings

[effvee]

Hi, I had a good friend share the spec's on his ottinger cylinder. I wanted to have made some of my own using the spec's. However finding a tried and true Aluminum was imposible, and having that meterial receive coating of Nickisil. My last effort was 6061-T685 I believe. The T685 I guessing on, but in my storeage I have the certifacate of the type of Alum. I do need to have them cryoed and coated.




I don't know how well the cylinders will hold up, but I think they will do just fine after the coating is applied.

How is everything, did you hear anything on the bronze bearings.

Well, every body says they have someone that are making them and are just aroud the corner from bringing them to market. I'm tired of waiting, it looks like everyone it testing the waters by seeing if there is a need. I contacted National Bronze today, the guy was not to much help. National Bronze says per their website they can make anything. I don't know what I'm doing when choosing metals. Jorge at EMW says his guy is testing, but that's on stock sizes. Who has stock size when going high performance? I even had the bushing install into my case for the 356 lifters but EMW don't have them, John at aircooled .net only has two. I'm bating really good today. The three liter was supposed to be on the back burner. I have a 2110 type one I need to put together and sell and even a 2332 type one also. I need to get the 2110 home and start putting it together. I still need rocker arm, lifters, through bolts for the type IV engine.

I can't wait to get behind this!

I'm not sure if the number two will have a 2332 type one or maybe a 2.5 type IV with 1.7 heads. Do you know someone making the main bearings?
