I'm not certain what "heavier load" means. I use them because the precision I find in the manufacturing gives me confidence in the product we build.
The slightly higher cost is out weighed by to success we experience.
Caveat: we are seeing some main bearings manufactured by Glyco coming out of So. Africa that seem to show a better level of consistency. Too early to tell but perhaps we're seeing a new factory with slightly higher QC standard.
