So, this is interesting and who thought more could be discussed on this subject, but then again, here we are. :+)
The pelican is the same as factory bearing, but a single-row, yes? I believe we cannot source the double-row bearing (or single row, but why would you?) directly from Porsche, the part number doesnt show in any of my parts drawings.
RND has the single to double-row upgrade for 550 bucks, but only for cars withe the single-row. What is out there for double row replacements at a similar price point? EPS is a strong candidate but seems dependant on oil pump modifications.
