PaulP Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterpainter Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I believe the Main bearings are poured shell bearings and NOT replaceable insert bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulP Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Oké,that's why rebuilding price for the motor here is extreme. They are talking about $ 40000 (€35000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Carl Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hello PaulP ! Serbia. Enter Serbia in the search box above. The first topic is from a very fine gentleman from Croatia named Nenad. He is restoring a 1924 Buick , and found an experienced rebuild/Babbitt shop in Serbia. Contact Nenad , you will see he is very capable. Good luck , and welcome to AACA ! Please stay here with us , and let us know as you make progress. - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulP Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulP Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
