026 198 493 is .25 over - that's just the bearing shells, not the thrust washers.

myke_w is too modest. Just make your life easy and order the good stuff from myke_w.

PN 026 198 421 for the thrust washer kit.
Here's the thrust washer kit I got from Myke_w (along with everything else)

Note: Mike, I just finished my motor and it Purring like a kitten. (5 months kinda slow eh?, but I got some excuses like slow machine work and someone taking my AC compresser and holding it hostage for 2 months!)

On topic... I'd be glad to supply the thread creator with bearings, pm me if interested. no pressure tho, if you find them local, go for it, just don't buy junk.

myke are these a vw diesel specific bearing? it looks an awful lot like an ABA factory bearing...
