I too have been in touch with Pelican about this issue and considering the importance of it have gotten what I consider rather cavalier responses. One was incredulous all things considered. (Keep in mind this was only last week!) I think the Pelican respondees name was something like Bob Windell, or something like that. His response was that it was the first time he had heard of an an issue like this!
How long has this thread and it's predecessors been going on? Does he/they have their collective heads under a rock or something? This is a significant issue that could have a significant impact on their overall parts business. Someone with their "volume clout" needs to take this up with Glyco now.
I too have been trying to source Clevites with no success. There is no listing for any Porsche bearings in either their master catalog or their later light engine catalog supplement. There are Audi and VW listings, no Porsche at all. They do have listings for a lot of obscure engines I've never heard of though. FYI Clevite seems to be owned by or is part of Mahle, which makes the lack of Porsche bearings even more baffling.

Reason: Add comment about Clevite sources, correct spelling of Mahle.
