Clevite 77 bearings

[fstoy]

Where does everyone buy them from? Local parts store, or order them from a dealer such as Titan or HPF?

One parts store i checked with yesterday, had no idea what he sold! I Fucking hate parts store people ( no offence to anyone here who works for one!) All they care about is when are they getting off, and if its not in the computer, well then they just dont have it.

Sorry about the rant.

Parts Stores Would Be Alot More Expensive Any How. Go Thru Titan. I Got All Mine Thru My Local Engine Builder Shop For 90 Bux. Mains,rods,thrust Washers. Im Sure U Can Do Better.

I did the same - let my machinist order them for me. He got me the same prices I could get either online or from the local auto parts places.

Man my best recommendation is get Toyota bearings, ask Dr.Jonez, he will tell you the same, From the past rebuilt's that I have done the Clevite 77 and King bearings don't hold up as well. The 7MGTE has 5 different size standard bearings. I used Clevite in my buddies engine and every thing was in spec, but after running it and putting 2,500 miles on it, we took it apart and the clearances were all off.

toyota does have tighter clearances and such.... theres plenty of 7m's running clevit 77's without a problem.

I've had the best luck with Toyota bearings. But I've also seen people have good luck with the Clevites. A lot has to do with the machine work and installation of the bearings, you can spin any bearing if the machine work is garbage.
