Rear bearing

[Urs Baertschiger]

Since you do not mention what engine you are working on almost anything is 
possible. I'd recommend you fly the engine till it has accumumulated at 
least 1 hour of running time. Then you tell us what problems you have 
encountered if any. Basically I wouldn't expect castor oil to affect 
bearings even if the engine hasn't been used for some years.
