Fellow vanagon types 

I am now able to align bore 1.9, 2.0 and 2.1 cases the price starts at $100 for prepared cases ready to bore. thrust bearings and thrust cutting is also available for the 1.9 cases with loose rear mains. There is also a supply of aftermarket 1.9 main bearings at $130 per set in STD, .020 and .040 outside dimensions with standard and 10 under crank sizes. oversize thrust bearings are available in 20 and 40 oversize outside dimensions only
