Protect Your Crank: Rod, Main & Cam Bearings
Low oil pressure and a deep "knocking" sound are the nightmares of any car owner. These are signs of worn Engine Bearings.
Tri-Metal Durability We stock premium NORS Bearings (Rod, Main, and Cam) from trusted manufacturers like Clevite 77, Federal Mogul, and TRW.
-
Sizes: Available in Standard (STD), .010, .020, and .030 undersizes for turned crankshafts.
-
Materials: Babbitt and Tri-Metal construction for maximum load capacity and fatigue resistance in vintage engines.
Watch Your Warning Light: Oil Pressure Sending Units
Is your oil pressure light flickering, or is your gauge reading dead zero? The Oil Pressure Switch (Sender) is the likely culprit.
Warning Light vs. Gauge
-
Switches (Lights): Simple on/off senders that trigger the red "Idiot Light" on your dash when pressure drops too low.
-
Senders (Gauges): Variable resistance units that drive a needle gauge.
-
NOS and NORS Quality: We stock authentic USA-made senders that are calibrated correctly for vintage gauges, unlike generic modern replacements that give false readings.
Vintage Filtration: Canister & Cartridge Oil Filters
Before the modern "Spin-On" filter, cars used a Permanent Canister housing with a replaceable Cartridge Element.
Keep It Original Many owners convert to spin-on, but for a true restoration, you want the original canister look.
-
Cartridges: We stock the paper or sock-style drop-in elements (e.g., AC P-Series, Fram C-Series).
-
Housings & Lines: Replacement canisters and pressure lines for bypass oil filtration systems found on 1940s-50s engines.
The Heart of the Engine: High Volume & Standard Oil Pumps
No oil pressure means no engine. If your gauge is dropping at idle, your oil pump gears may be worn. We stock NORS Oil Pumps to protect your investment.
Standard vs. High Volume
-
Standard Volume: Perfect for stock rebuilds to maintain factory pressure.
-
High Volume: Recommended for engines with looser bearing clearances or remote oil coolers.
-
Quality: Precision-machined gears and housings from Melling and Sealed Power. Do not forget to replace the Oil Pump Driveshaft!
