bearing question

[Henderson,Eric]

Crankcase pressure to the Perry does not reach the tank so it will be OK. With the Cline, the gunk (found a better word!) reached the tank and plugged the clunk.

The OS 1.60 bearings are readily available.

Most bearings are USA made and you have the odd experience of not being able to buy them over here because they are exported to Japan only.

Try WWW.AFCBEARING.COM. Great prices and so far a good product. They carry all of the standard sizes, but some of them have to be shipped from Japan. I am using their sealed SS bearing in my OS 160 with the seals and grease intact. 120 flights (+-) without a problem. And I am using crank pressure to power a Perry pump. This is after going through 2 sets of carbon steel bearings after less than 35 flights each.
