I stock over 300 sets of German Main bearings and I am sure I can help you
with your machining needs and questions on sizes

Subject: BLOCK BEARING SIZES ...

Hello to the List,
I have a block that I just took apart and would like to know what the sizes
inside should be.  I am thinking that one or more of the inside sizes has
increased and the block may have to be cut to the next size.  Also the
question would be then; what size it has to be cut to and who can do it
aroung here in the Seattle area.  And who sells those bearings that have
bigger outside diameter sizes.  Throwing the block away and buying a new one
is totally against the spirit of the List.  We are here to do constant
makovers on our beloved friends.
I hope, some of you would know what I am talking about and give answers.
Regards, Zoltan
