Bearings about as expected. To be honest looking at them in the wrapper I see nothing special. There is a noticeable grind mark on the inner race of both bearings (almost identical) and another on the inner face of the outer race of each. I assume they are balancing corrections. Actually since I have to write a review I'm having a closer look (haven't had time recently).Now that I've unwrapped them both bearings seem a little more refined than my initial impression (they are going to be fitted into my small Garrett gas turbine engine). They took a bit more time than expected to arrive (3 or so weeks to Australia) and they cost [$]for 2 which was more than I thought 2 bearings would cost but a little less than everyone else on the net for a similar standard. Not yet fitted but a tad more optimistic now that I've had a close look. Will let you know how they cop the 41 800 rpm isochronous speed of my G.T. - Rob
