Hi All
I am trying to rebuild a water boxer engine , it is the earlier type I think as the bearing set up is of the single thrust bearing set up . it has a blue dot crank which measures 0.25mm under standard . I am trying to get bearings for it and I can find 0.25mm u.s bearings but they are all for a standard case , which is where I run into a problem . my case is 0.5mm oversize and no-one seems to have bearings the same size as the bearings that came out of my engine . has anyone out there come across this problem ? has any one got any advice for me ? I am new to all this and could really do with some helpfull advice.

Standard cranks are easy to find as people are making later cases into 2.1s
No cant seem to get them either , all I can find is standard crank and standard case or u.s crank standard case .
Anoying thing is I do have a standard case but its got 2 clynder head studs broken in it and I cant get them out and have managed to find anyone who can , but I am looking

Why would the glass be anything other than half full?
I've been searching the Kolbenschmidt website, they only seem to list undersize crank, standard case bearings, all three in more accessible form here, with stock levels https://e-shop.eoltas.lt/index.php?lang ... #autobegin
