I like the Taiho Bearings.

Japanese NDC's are about as good as it gets for a 7M these days.

Because after 13 years I'd gone as far as I wanted with the 7M....

Clevite don't actually do 7M bearing they just rebox, used to be NDC's but I've seen FedMogul's and ACL's in Clevite boxes as well.

that's usually what happens to people with an abundance of knowledge and experience. you take it to the limit one last time, then you move on.

Yep case of "Been there done that" ...
(main difference in my case was I got it right before calling it quits)

heh, most people wait till they blow it up.... then again, some people run their cars so hard there's no way it wouldn't get wore out...
