I am trying to rebuild an engine for a = 1990 Vanagon.  I cannot find a sourc for the main bearings.  I = would guess most of you know that the main bearings are in short supply now.  = My dealer tells me that VW lists only 10 red sets and no blue sets available = in the country. 
 
 Has anyone found an alternate = source of supply? 
 Can the bearing shells be rebuilt = by plating or flame spraying a new babbit layer on them?
 
Any ideas or leads appreciated.
