Right got another seller selling me a brand new set of bearings. NPR for around £35.00 for all 5 sets.
But I can see some marks on the left side. Anything to worry about?

Just my 2p but when re-building an engine if the bearings aren't perfect I wouldn't fit them
(Always difficult to advise without seeing the item's up close though)


Do you have a local engine re-conditioner's that has a trade counter or similar ?
At least then you can check the quality of the bearings before fitting them

Guys I am abit worried about getting my refund from this shop. The gentleman in question has taken responsibility in an email saying it was his warehouse staff that should have checked the items.

I know believe after reading the following that there lies more to that story as in the below link he seems to find it easy to blame the staff.

I also thank god made sure i paid approx £8.00 in sending the items back via royal mail insured delivery:

I truly believe if I had not done there would have been a chance I would have been told the items were not received.
I always knew something fishy was up when first doing the deals as he seemed quite desperate to sell me the items.
I always seem to know when something is not right. Like a gut instinct but went ahead and bought the items in good faith.

Seriously just buy local or ONLY from reputable sources


Trouble is with some of these on-line places you think you are saving money, but by the time you've sent things back and messed about on the phone or by email/s you could have had the engine built up.....
