I prefer the swiss bearings as I believe they have tighter tolerances in their specs and the fact that we use this engine for local racing. The cheaper bearings normally work fine in a sport environment, but not always when you are taxing them at higher rpms.
Well I've had quite a few "original" bearings suffer from corrosion in TT, ST and Saito engines but the replacements I'm using from Paul have *never* shown any signs of corrosion.
I can't see the point in spending big-bucks on "name brand" bearings when Paul's do the job so very well and offer the extra benefit of dispensing with that dangerous metal retainer.
Is the upgrade for $5 to stainless races worth it or just go with the bearing steel races?
