FYI. Just got a newsletter from British Parts Northwest, They are handling a new line of trimetal bearings with the exact same makeup as the old Vandervell bearings. They say it is made by King Bearings and they started making them for a request from BPNW. They say they are now available for the triumph 6 and will be available for the Healeys soon.
 
I put new BPN tri-metal inserts (rods and mains) in my TR6. I have not pulled a rod cap or main cap off since the freshning. Besides it only has 500 miles or so on them but they have endured 3 or four runs on the dyno ending with 5500 RPM. I can report they did not "spin".
