Thanks Ian.

Ady, I wasnt looking for the best but asked if CI was a good bearing material which apparently it is.

Thank you PGK

I like the idea of trying ball bearings but still having the other options available - that hadn't occurred to me I'm afraid

(But it has now.... )

Regards,

Several of my Stationary engines have cam shafts running in cast iron bearings and run at 300+ rpm, one engine has a greasing cup to lubricate the bearing and an earlier sibling has just a hole to put lubricating oil onto the shaft, this engine was made in 1923 and its later brother is dated at 1947, they will run for more years than I will smiley
