Stainless Steel Bearings

[Wayne Galligan]

Who carries the OS 1.40 SS bearing?
Doesn't Jerry Budd carry this bearing?

  The stock O.S. 1.4 EFI bearing is stainless and shielded, the one for the RX is not. My original bearing (non-shielded) was shot within 5 gallons and a friend of mine only got 3 gallons on his. I put in the EFI shielded bearing with the shields left in and it's still going strong and smooth after 20 gallons. The EFI bearing is a drop-in replacement for the RX since they both use the same crankcase. I've since bought a second RX and replaced the original bearing with the EFI bearing before I even started it up for the first time. BTW, all bearings are not created equal. I'd recommend the O.S. packaged version as it's an NTN high quality bearing packed with hi-temp grease that'll stand up to the temps we operate at.

    Dave,
    The stock OS SS bearing is shielded. I would do the same.

      I intend to instal in my OS 140RX stainless steel rear bearings.

      Should I go with the sealed bearing,or the open one?   Why?

      All info appreciated.

      Dave
