I do not know much about reading bearings upon disassembly. I have several cases and I just took a look at these bearings for the first time. I know absolutely nothing about the history of this case. What are your opinions on the bearings? If I use this case, of coarse I will use new bearings. This is more for forensic fun

Mark- you can have the bearings if you want however it looks like they are Glyco bearings.
What are the go to bearings to buy now for mains and rods? PP forums have some bad stuff about the glycos. |

PP forums have some bad stuff about the glycos. From my vast experience (one engine re build), I would say that this looks like typical wear as the bearing journals begins to ovalize. They will go out of round "spreading" at the case join line. Measure carefully for this. If they are out of round by .002" or so, you might be fine. More than .004" and the crank will bind as you torque the cases together It is hard to read through all of the glyco problem threads. It seems most of the problems were on the bigger bore motors. I bought the glyco''s from EBS for my 2.4 build. I guess I trusted them to say if there was a problem. They said nothing. |
