OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

1200-1600cc Main Bearings Set (BRAZILIAN or MEXICAN), for .020" Line Bore Case
1200-1600cc Main Bearings Set (BRAZILIAN or MEXICAN), for .020" Line Bore Case
Price: $59.95

1200-1600cc Main Bearings Set (BRAZILIAN or MEXICAN), for .020" Line Bore Case, are the nicest bearings for the money you can get. We have nicer sets for performance applications over 150hp, but for everything under that, these are perfectly fine!

We strongly recommend using a new case rather than line boring old ones. But it is true you can inspect and line bore a case and have a good basis for your engine, but finding a case that is not worn completely out, AND finding a machinest that can do a PROPER job, is not easy nor cheap, especially when you factor in the shipping charges to/from him!

Aside from that, if you have found one, here are the bearings for it!
