Lots of posts on here lately pertaining to engine bearings.Thanks to Moparts for the referral to Marsh Performance.A call to Todd and he was able to find the hard to obtain rod bearings I requested and they were delivered the very next day.The right part and the right price. Doesn't get any better.He has a lot of experience and is definitely great to deal with .I highly recommend them.Thanks Todd and thanks Moparts. Bill

Me as well. Todd is extremely accommodating and a wealth of info. The shops he uses for machine wk and head porting are top notch. I try and not call him unless I have something important to ask because I know we will be on the phone for 15-30 minutes. Our conversations always stray somewhat to other areas of my build. This is good for the customer but I realize I'm also taking up his time from someone else's build.

I'm really happy that I met Todd at Norwalk and and selected him for my build.

What rod bearings were you looking for?

I was looking for Clevite CB 527 HXND for an aluminum rod big block. The "X" was the problem. (.001") oversize for more oil clearance. Supply seems to have been used up and manufacturing slow to return.Gasket and bearing choices at this time is difficult.Todd said they would be difficult, but did a search after my call located a set and called me back. I really appreciate his efforts to help out a fellow Mopar guy over and above the other vendors I contacted.Again I contacted Todd for a set of Clevite main bearings to use in place of my second set of King main bearings due to a questionable thrust bearing fit with their XP series.Fit with HP series mains appeared correct just needed more oil clearance, so I purchased the second set which had to be XP to get oil clearance.In that set 1,2,4&5 snapped in correctly. The thrust bearing just sort of fell in.Way different fit than the first set.Called tech division and wasn't thoroughly convinced to use it as it would "probably "be ok. I don't believe in praying for parts to be ok. Asked them to ship me another thrust bearing, but they weren't hearing it. Not bashing them , but with the parts I had in front me I knew I had to take a different path.Thats when I made a call to Todd at Marsh Performance and spoke with him and got a bearing recommendation from him and his experience.He did not bash King either,saying that they produced quality stuff, too.We'll see when these Clevites get delivered.I sense good results after speaking with Todd.Other sources say they should be easier to measure,also, by design. If it was easy everybody would be doing it! Bill

I use Todd for all my motor parts, headers, etc. He knows what the best parts to use for each build and keeps up on what to stay away from. The service he provides is invaluable to me. He's providing everything for all 11 motors that I have in process.
