Clevite race series bearings. I have tried all the others, and wore them down to a nice copper glaze...lol. The clevites are the only thing that has taken the beating.

I wouldnt use a Fedal Mogul Bearing in my mini bike.

I have seen way to many bearing failures attributed to them being soft.
Depending on what crank you have, Either Stock or the Clevite (the hardened race if your crazy). You will have to hand chamfer the bearing on some stroker cranks to clear the large radiused cranks.

How many different ways can you spell Federal-Mogul?

Write the name down once in your checkbook and I'm sure you'll stand a good chance of writing it down again.

I carry mine around like a purple heart.
