King tri metal bearing have long been available the US for many of our engine, but not all of our engines. So if you wanted tri metal bearing for your MGA, MGB 3 main engine, rod bearing for example were only avaialble thru a few over jealous vendors, and did they ever see us coming, charging often times well over $100+ a set for King, or NOS Vandervell bearings. Well those days are over my friends. being a technical advisor to Moss Motors, I was asked what should they should stock, they don't stock, and one of my responses was tri metal bearign, so now Moss Motors, and Moss Motor distributors like myself can offer King tri metal bearing for many engine where no reasonable price offering were offered, for example MGB 3 main tri metal rod bearing for under $50, also other hard to get offerings like MG 198/948, big Triumph, big Healey are now readily avaialable in tri metal bearing for very reasonable pricing.
Warning: for you all out there trying to source NOS Vandervell tri metal bearing, often times thess bearings have not been made for a couple of decades at minimum, and command a premium price, be VERY AWARE, that many of these old Vandervell tri metal bearing are shelf aged out, and the top lead shell has started to discolor, delaminate, rendering them uselss, if you see discoration and flaking on the face of a NOS Vandervell tri metal bearings, I would highly advise you to not to use them in your engine. Be very aware these bearings are often offered on Ebay and by some NOS offering vendors, if you see this, know these bearing showing these conditions, they cannot be trusted.
Hope this helps.
