What about running clevite bearings? Any reason you’re trying to use king specifically?

They recommended I get a stock bearing coated since they don’t seem to make that set anymore.

Do you mind enlightening me on what King was doing to their bearings to make them sought after and what the benefit is/was?

Probably just a back log like most compannies due to the tarriff

I was just trying to find a .001 bearing to tighten up some clearances and they supposedly made one.

King was back logged 2 years before the made up tarrifs.

I am aware. The tarriffs did not help though.
