    <p>For the TR-4 (race engine) I do the Tri-Metal bearings (rod and
      main) from <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.bpnorthwest.com">www.bpnorthwest.com</a>.  I also have them ceramic coated
      by Calico coatings.  I've not had issues due to the bearing /
      coating in 15+ years of hard racing.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>I know you're asking for the TR-6 - they have tri-metal for that
      too.  Of course I have no direct experience on the 6 cylinder
      motor.<br>

      <p>Hi, I have finally depleted my stash of vandervell bearings. I
        was wondering if there are suggestions from the group regarding
        the best choice of today's suppliers. Any input based on race
        engine use would certainly be appreciated. thanks!</p>
