In the past couple years I have been in contact with a couple of 4Ners
who rebuilt their engines and between them had purchased just about all
the internals, including the rod bearings.  A V8Q owner in the Republic
of Kazakhstan ordered his parts from a German parts supplier, but said
that almost everything he bought was drop shipped from a Mahle factory
(distribution center?) in Salzsitter, Germany.  It's been a while, (about
2 years) don't know if his email is still good, but I found it in my
archives and have sent him a note asking if he might still have the part
#'s.  Might be able to get them from a Mahle distributor in the US with
the part #.   Probably readily available in EuroLand countries, esp.
Germany, any listers on that side of the Atlantic want to check?
