Anyone had any experience using King main and big end bearings in their a-series engine? From what I googled they seem to be good. |

King have distributors in the UK and America UK Distributor below, although when I tried to buy bearings for my LS engine from them, they had no stock and prices they quoted were mental Was far cheaper to buy from the US. But that's just typical for the UK. ENGINE PARTS (UK) LTD UNITS 14-17 THURROCK COMMERCIAL PARK PURFLEET INDUSTRIAL PARK, SOUTH OCKENDON ESSEX, RM15 4YA ENGLAND 9.85 @ 145mph

Box says made in Israel, but if you go to the website it looks like it's an American company. These seem to be good bearings and available at my local parts supplier at a fraction of the cost of a set of bearings from minispares when I add shipping and duties. Running and modifying minis here is South Africa is getting very expensive as we have to now import a lot of our spares. Our exchange rate does not help either it's about 18 to 1. |

They've probably adapted/updated the website for trying to push into the American market. But they are 100% from Israel. They have a huge range too 9.85 @ 145mph
