I am afraid it is hard to find much anymore that is not made in China.  Not sure of wiesco bearing source.

kaw rider:
you can't go wrong with oem bearing.

kaw rider:
what are you going to do with 2 stuffer motors, spare.

kaw rider:
these are what oem bearings look like after piston damage

meangreen:
Impressive that the cage underwent such severe deformation without coming apart. 

I have seen very few wrist pin bearing failures ... but we always tried to run OEM at the shop. 

Truthfully, aside from some of the exterior cosumables (sprockets, chain, bars, etc.) it is hard to beat OEM - IMHO.
