Subject:Got some type 4 main bearings for sale in KS
From:Ken Wilford
Date:Tue, 6 Mar 2012 16:14:21 -0500

Just wanted to drop the list a line about a few sets of type 4 main
bearings I have for sale.  These are in Kolbenschmidt and I have a few
different sizes:

021198495A (.020 case/.020 crank)
021198483A (std case/.010 crank)
021198485A (std case/.020 crank)

I need to get $149 a set.  You can get the Mahle bearings no problem
right and I can do them in many different sizes for $75 a set.  However
getting your hands on a set of KS German made main bearings is getting
pretty much impossible for the type 4 engine.  If you have an aircooled
Vanagon or late Bus and you are thinking about having your engine
rebuilt at some point in the future, you should pick up a set of these
while you can.  After the few sets I have are gone, not sure when more
are going to be available again (if history is a guide, several years at
least).  Just FYI.
