Main bearings on 998 A+
Turbo Mini Forums

The ones that were on were:

Grooved top with offset tang
Plain Bottowm with centre tang

I have 2 sets of mains bearings both with grooves and offset tang, are these off the old A series?

anyone have the correct part number for mine?

Cheers

Joe

well sent the bearings back to MED to exchange, and heard nothing back

called them up today and spoke to Steve, they had misplaced my contact number and were awaiting my call, turns out Vandervell never made 998 A+ bearings

on the seven engines they used to build they just filed the caps to take the A series ones.

so my choices it seems are to usemod my caps and use grooved vp2's, or try glacier...which Steve doesnt recommend

what do you guys think?

I use glacier in my engine, no problems so far

I've also got glacier bearings for mine.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I've heard that these don't cope well with overheating...

what, like global warming?

ACL draglide all the way in my opinionp

Mini spares go with the pre A+ ones they last better in 998

Those are the grooved vp2's I believe?

Minispares only sell ACLs for 1275 according to their website?
