The bearings are made of hardened steel, but still only 250F. Dave Casey hi Dave, hello list: 250 degree anything should work fine in anything but pistons , valves, and exhaust hardware. Even the cylinders are hotter than that only on the inside. 250 degree is hot for oil and coolant temps....250 will boil water off the outside of an engine....my son was able to do this running our slant six van 30 miles with no water pump belt.(August in Phx az) If any part of a distributor gets over 250 , i would worry about more what disaster is occurring than the temp rating of the bearings. just my thoughts rob lipinski 65 sat [AD removed for archives] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Claim your fully stuffed Christmas Stocking now caacQ4Sb7yoMzf/PermissionData ------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
