Glyco Mains - anything better?
Discussion
I have removed a set of Vandervell mains ERR1765 circa 1998 from my engine and the best equivalent appears to be made by Glyco
Is there a better option for a Fastroad/Track application with 7.5k redline?
The engine uses the same 2.5" mains as the 4.0/4.6 Rover V8 - STC4299
I have ordered Clevite77 for the big ends as recommended by a buddy, but they don't seem to do mains in the size needed

I would have thought a 'race' material would be preferred and with a race profile. Have you looked for a Clevite H series or do King or ACL offer something?
You mentioned the RV8, is that the engine you have?

Mahle Motorsport are producing the VP2 equivalent bearings nowadays, have a search on fleabay and you may spot some, Glyco are perfectly good, especially on the mains where they dont take the impact that a big end takes. Or as suggested , try Cleevite I believe they are lead indium with bronze backing like the VPs.
