B-Series Engine Bearings MGB, MGA

Rod bearings, main bearings, thrust washers, cam bearings, small end bushes for all BMC, BL Austin Rover B-Series engines. We endeavor to supply only Vandervell bearings in the VP2 high performance Tri-metal type bearings, but in some cases this is becoming more and  more difficult.

The next grade of material is type: VP19, not as good as VP2 for racing use, but perfectly acceptable for most other applications.

Engine Bearing Update

At the present moment the bearing situation is a nightmare!
One company, Dana Corp, owns most of the major engine bearing manufacturers.
These include, Glacier, Vandervell, AE, Cleveite,  all of which are being shipped in AE boxes.
Some bearings are still available in the tri-metal VP2 type of bearing, these are the Vandervell bearings, however, just because you have a 'box' of Vandervell bearings does not mean that you have VP2!

APT has been buying old stock wherever possible, but this is coming to an end.
So we will supply the best bearings where we can, and this will probably be in the following order of choices:
Federal Mogul/Vandervell, AE, Cleveite, Glacier
The first choice then is the bearings with an Indium overlay, the next is what are commonly called Lead/Bronze or Lead/Copper, lastly the "A" or "SA" material which is what is normally used in all OEM engines, mostly because they are slightly cheaper to make, and they deal with dirty oil better.
