I have never seen 60 over on a 1.9 only 20 over from Canada. send the
bearings to me if you still have then I would love to see them. I have had
40 over rear main bearings  made so that I can align bore the 20 overs that
have been done by Canada and I have added a over size thrust cut to my stock
of bearings so I can save a case that otherwise would be junk.
