KR> Main Bearing Source

2017-01-07 Thread Matt Quimby via KRnet
Alright, I’m having a little difficulty sourcing main bearings. I’m working with a Mosler 2180, and the 4th bearing is actually longer and thinner than the 4th bearing I’m seeing in just about every available set. Pictures of my bearings are here: http://kr2pilot.blogspot.com/2017/01/engine-dis
