GT550 crankshaft bearings
For anyone interested Paul Miller on ebay ( jrwdfa ) has a few sets of NOS GT550 crankshaft bearings with the oil slingers. I am getting ready for a crank rebuild and looking at some older posts these bearings are not easy to find.

Re: GT550 crankshaft bearings
I am convinced that Paul Miller has a cloning machine. When I rebuilt my 77 Buffalo, I bought both forward and aft NOS wiring harnesses from him. Beautiful, clean and pliable. He sold a lot of those. You could tell by the look and feel these were not something that sat on a shelf somewhere for 30+ years. They even had the OEM cloth type labels on them. Cost me around $240 for the pair. I thought it expensive at the time, but looking back they were worth twice that. That was in 2007.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Maybe Paul is that guy in the Sprint Time Machine commercial? He goes back in time, and buys parts at 1970's prices.
