Look at them side by side (OEM and AM) if the AM has fewer rollers spaced farther apart..... enough said.....

I now spend the $16 to $25 on an OEM bearing.

I have never had one fail but hear too many stories.

My other reasoning behind this is that for the small extra cost, a failure in this area will cause a lot more cost, work and damage than an aftermarket clutch drum bearing letting go, which is quick and easy to get at

I'm building a 026 with a a/m topend. I'm going oem for the bearing. The a/m one just doesn't feel like I could trust it.
