Oil choice will be up to the end user. We will release our recommendation upon completion of the bearings but there are just too many variables depending on intended use.

Much appreciated, good sir! I'm holding out on doing my bearings until you folks have yours for sale. Let us know if a pre-purchase ever gets going.

Thanks pretty vague. Oil should be speced based on clearance.

Count me in for one!

4corners · 12-15-2014, 10:28 AM

Count me in for set #37! (if this is a sign up list)

I hope vendors don't snatch all these up and charge too much.

douglee25 · 12-15-2014, 10:35 AM

Nice work!

Me too. I'm in no rush to do mine, so I'm glad I was able to wait for these to come out. I'm happy that something is finally being done, hopefully this lowers the amount of rod bearing threads (unlikely haha).

Shouldn't the oil be based on the new clearance?

In any case, super excited about seeing progress on this. Which forum do you and PG/regular guy frequent now?

Sign me up for a set!
