IMPI - Bearing sizes ?

flatfourfan · Post by **flatfourfan** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:09 pm

Armand, I tried calling you this morning, but to no avail.

My wife shoved my wallet through the washing machine and with it, my list of bearings for the type 4. Can you remember what sizes we discussed as I'm going to be placing an order from the type IV store. While I'm ordering from there, is there anything else that I need engine wise?

They work about R600-00 for a set of german ones and about R350-R400 for brazillian ones.

I'm going to be coming through at the end of the month and I have some stuff to add to the collection of goods at your place. We'll have this turbo motor built in no time...

Is that how much bearings go for?!

Damn!!

I'm going to have to buy the same bearings also

Anyway, that engine sure sounds exciting, even though I had to copy and paste your text in MS Word to read it

Keep us posted!!

I'm looking for 0.50 (N0 2) undersize bearings for the crank and rod bearings

Let me know if the local places have...

Will do, last I heard I was looking at about R250-00 a set locally, but no-one has any in stock.

Okay, I've just got an email back and the bearing sets that you asked me to go for are about R10 000 excluding the pistons...........

eish..........

Any chance you can start stripping and measuring up so that I can order specfic sizes?

Ps, I have a lead on a set of 96mm 2.0 pistons and sleeves from Mahle for R2000-00 (good buy???)

Good luck finding T4 main bearing local, very scarce at the moment.

Pierre, I've spoken to Armand and when he drops off your motor, he'll have a look see at them and advise me on what to do.
