bearring question

are they any good???

Excellent bearing. Be aware that they have more clearance than a comparable Clevite or Federal bearing. About .0005 in standard sizes. I prefer the extra clearance anyway.
And a note about the extra clearance bearing they also offer. It's got a full .001 more clearance than does an extra clearance Clevite or Federal. That has been my experience with them.
Note: This refers to their race bearing. Not sure of their regular bearings on clearance. Never used any of those.

Like he said and I like em, the only thing I have to add is I noticed that the thrust is a little tight, I usually have to sand about .004 off to get adequate end play, but maybe ther'e made that way so they can be clearanced to any one's preference. Shit don't know if that sounded right but you get my drift!. :confused:

So, who makes King bearings? I have been told that there are only a few bearing manufacturers.

Made is Isreal. All you need to know. No epa. Rumor on the street is it is the old Vandervell bearing. (hope I spelled that right.)
