Wanted Buick 1932 motorparts

[PaulP]

HI

Sorry for my bad English .

We are looking for camshaft bearings/main bearing set Buick 1932 series 90  straight eight. Are they possibly the same as 1937 straight eight engine? 

Here in the Netherlands we can't find them.

I believe the Main bearings are poured shell bearings and NOT replaceable insert bearings.

Oké,that's why rebuilding price for the motor here is extreme. They are talking about $ 40000  (€35000)

PaulP,   try finding someone in the rest of Europa to do this the job.The price will be around 5-7000 Euro .$40000 are robbery! Try Poland,Theckien ,Jugoslavia,UK or other close to NL.

Leif in Sweden.

Okay, thanks for the help so far.  I'm not the owner,the car is from a friend ( 83 years old now and not a computer guy)who restored en rebuild the car as new  a few years  ago. (ten years of his life)  When he started restoration the chassis  and the engine where rebuild by the previous owner and that's now the problem. Don't trust the job from people you don't know !  The rebuild of the engine wasn't  done correct .Now an overhaul company has measured the engine and made a rapport from that work. (costs €2000!) and they're  asking €35000 when they repair it. Now the engine is back home and we are looking for a company that can fix the job for a normal price.

I've contacted Nenad  and have the adress from the company in Serbia. Next step will be making photo's from the engine and copy's from the measurement report and sending an email to Serbia.
