Jim, In looking through the archives I see you had a problem finding the non flanged main bearing for your z 129 about a year ago. I am having the same problem. I ordered the to 30 rebuild from this site and they came with the flanged type front bearing. Were you able to make it work or did you find the correct bearing? I would appreciate some info. Thanks

David.. I was very suspicious of this site's source of main bearings from the get-go (not quality, but "correctness" of part, based on other posts) so I ordered the engine rebuild kit for this engine without bearings and got the main (and rod) bearings through my machine shop (that I used to grind the crank). This also allowed purchase before I had the crank ground. The main bearing kit supplied by the shop (Clevite brand) included all of the correct bearings including the thrust bearings (washer style). I actually was sold an extra set of the thrust washers ($20) because the machine shop did not realize that they were included with the kit. Also, the two thrust washers supplied are identical and both are metal bearing material (not the fiberglass of the inner original). I suspect that this is the current substitute and I expect that this will work although I am not finished with mine yet. I also wondered about the shell type adaption that you mentioned. Certainly you would have to carefully remove the front flange (maybe on a disc or belt sander) to allow use of the front washer that uses the pins in the main cap but maybe the back (inner) flange could be used instead of the inner washer. Leaving the back flange on the shell would also provide some dimensional stability that you might otherwise lose. But for the extra 80 to 100 bucks for the correct bearing set, it sure would not be worth the risk to me except as a research project, which I am prone to do from time to time anyway... Jim
