Crank-bearings...

Post by sandman »

I found a few boxes of bearings among all my stash... that I'd forgotten I had...

I am a bit unsure about what types they are, can anyone confrim type and quality (are these suitable for race use??)

Part nos:

- VPM91886 (Vandervell on box)

- VPR91306 (Dana Glacier Vandervell on box)

- AEC3063 (AE Federal Mogul Aftermarket on label/box) (Cambearings)

Any help appreciated.
Cheers,

- VPM91886 (Vandervell on box)

a plus large bore mains

- VPR91306 (Dana Glacier Vandervell on box)

1275 big end ends

- AEC3063 (AE Federal Mogul Aftermarket on label/box) (Cambearings)

the vandervells will probably be lc or lb, but you need to make sure that they are not a (aluminium) as they are not suitable for heavy duty use.

the dana boxed ones will modern ones, the quality isnt as good as the old vandervell, but still pretty good - they sometimes have a little 'lc' sticker on the box to show they are lead copper, but ive also seen them with reticular tin ones in the boxes, if you pull the codes i should be able to decode them using my vandervell bible

both the 91306 & the 91886 are made from the better vp2 material, this is the cast lead bronze - i.e they are the heavy duty bearings

the cam bearings where never made as a heavey duty option - they are just the normal ones
