    I thought the same thing when I did mine. I used all enginetech parts and was able to source them all from eBay very reasonable. All the enginetech brand is a box...they are made by clevite or federal mogul or whoever is the best price at the time. Im pretty sure all my bearings came stamped...

    RUHT RHO, SHAGGY. 94 7.3 dissassemble.
