996/997.1 TT High Performance Bearings and Headgasket
Hi Gents,
Could any of you guys advise on part numbers for high performance 996/997.1 main and bigend bearings, along with a capable MLS 1.3mm Headgasket?
And also, who I can source these parts from...
Our current engine has Glyco mains and Clevite big-ends. I'm struggling to find a source for these bearings again, but was hoping to upgrade to better bearings, if possible.
I have searched endlessly on the web, with no success.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards.

I would suggest you do the following;
Buy OEM bearings and send them to WPC for their WPC treatment.
They will have less friction and last much longer.
As for a better designed MLS head gasket. You can buy the EVOMS "HellFire" Head Gasket set. The thickness is 0.040" = (1.016mm).
You can also use the EVOMS 10mm Head studs.
Good luck with what you go with.

Did not test upgraded bearings !
But used factory parts and work perfectly , I even ran OEM head gasket with 1000hp setup and it work very well , only forge Rods / evoms head studs !
