Re: [Amc-list] Rings? now:contamination

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think site contamination is pretty common based on the way what we now refer to as toxic metals were handled in the past.  Perfect Circle/Federal Mogul may have bought the designs and patents of Muskegon Piston Ring EXCLUDING liability for past contamination or excluding the real property assets.  Thus it becomes a superfund site and EPA has to go looking for other responsible parties like landlords.  If they can't pay for the cleanup, we as taxpayers pay the bills. Just conjecture on my part though.

The folks that made the bearings for my 195.6 located in a small town in Ohio are now out of business too and the site is a superfund site.  I got the bearings from Kanter Auto Products, which must have purchased some or all of the old stock.
