Sealed replacement ball bearing, rather than the tapered pin timken style original bearing.

Also green bearings need no adjustments or grease.

Also green bearings need no adjustments or grease.

And they don't last as long, especially if cornering hard.

Been running the green bearings for over 12 years street/strip in my 9-second 470 BB stroker w/out any issues.....................

They last about a day, road racing. Got 400k on a set of 1967 Timkens, still like new. Ask Green Bearings the specs on axial loads on their bearings. I agree with you that normal driving should be good for 100k especially straight line. Everything is relative...
