Cam Bearing set numbers, both NLA:
TRW #SH293S
Federal Mogul 1147M.

The cam bearings I've bought lately coming out of Kanter, Egge, Terrill, et al are shrink-wrapped-white-box-made-in-Taiwan, as are their rod bearings. Anyone have a source for made-in-USA rod bearings, cam bearings, pin bushings?

FWIW, for many years, Kanter has listed in their catalog and on their website, "5.1401 Piston pin, standard or oversize .003",.005", .010", each $8.80"
I tried to order three sets last month. The phone order taker called back to say they don't have them and aren't sure they ever had them. I then talked to a parts guy who has been there forever, "You're obviously the first one in all these years ever to try to order oversized piston pins, or we'd have taken it off." Kanter STILL has the listing on the website.
