Word is that since Mahle aftermarket inc. has bought out Clevite they are discontinuing the popular P series bearings which is tri metal with an A series which is aluminum & my opinion junk. So If anyone has any plans on building an engine soon may be wise to stock up now.
Clevite P series bearings soon to be gone !

Lou, I just saw that writeup they have on a link at Rockauto..
I snagged a set of stds, and .001's yesterday.
They are showing all the Clevite stuff as "clearance items"... Not much left.

Yep. The std mains are MS960P, .001 under is MS960P1
Got the .001 unders from Jegs, $39.95.. Summit says $77!
Got the std pieces at Rock Auto, for cheap.

I just got off the phone with Clevite customer service and the tech department. The CB-1228P and other P series bearings for our cars are NOT discontinued. They are not in the same quantity as a SBC but we know that. Both departments confirmed over 500 units in warehouses right now. There is no signs of being discontinued and I was asked to go on our forums and pass this on. The tech guy is well aware of our cars and we were on the phone for some time, the P series is also a favourite with the coating companies. Hope this helps

Kevin,
You are correct, but Mahle has discontinued the CB-1228p-1 bearing (.001). and the MS960p-1 sets. This makes it difficult to selective fit bearings to get the exact clearance needed. I stocked up on cb-1228p-1's and switched over to FM 107 mains. The FM mains can still be bought in std and .001" sets
