Definitly you need to check the whose is whose .
Sealed power aquired trw , then Federal Mogul
(commonly known as federal mangle) bought sealed
power , then bought Fel Pro ( all 4 lines ) and
parted out what they didn't want . THEN they went
after T & N ( a world wide company based in
england ) which at the time owned clevite and
McCord gaskets ( a much better gasket line than
fel pro) . After aquiring T & N uncle sam told
them they had to sell the clevite bearing line as
that would have been a monopoly .They closed the
McCord gasket line and sold the clevite line to
Dana corp .
FM either screwed up or ruined much of the
aftermarket industry , Thank them for many of
the parts for older tractors that you can no
longer get.

Clevite had been separate from trw for many
years , I'm not sure how many so I'll leave it
open rather than be wrong .
