John, I had some made up at a local bearing supply house some years ago in Shreveport, LA. Never had any complaints about them. I would have to try to dig up...
I seem to recall there was a recent thread about unavailability of sub-3.00 19" tires here in the USA. Before you guys lace up 18" rims you should get hold of...
Hope I'm not bringing up an old thread that's been thoroughly explored before, but I discovered the same thing today at my local bearing house; i.e. the OEM...

Hello, anybody get a look at e-bay today? Looks like someone totally stripped down a high-cam and is selling it off piece by piece. What is sad that it's a...
Unfortunately the breakdown of a motor for parts does seem to work out better than selling it whole. Selling it whole demands that the buyer has some knowledge...
I just added up what the e-bay seller was thinking of getting for his 501-xxx motor. His total for starting bids comes to well over $3,000, which is pretty...

I've taken apart quite a few hicams (fewer than I've assembled for reasons we are all too aware of ) & all have had roller main bearings on both sides.Helical...
It seems that any complete high-cam starts around $600 and tops out at $1,200 with 250's being prefered over 175/200's. I have not seen a motor go over $2,000...
More or less the same in the UK £ for $. We have very few 250s here - not that 175s are exactly plentiful - so they are rather more desireable for real-world...
