OS-140 bearing question

[chris moon]

Jason:
  What I noticed most is that it will start to load up in the midrange for 
no reason. Mine did not feel rough or have any play, it just got really bad 
in the midrange.  I took it apart and the bearing looked terrible.  Replaced 
it, and it went back to running great.  By the way, the best bearing is the 
OS bearing for the EFI version of the 140.  Tower has them for maybe $25 and 
it is a sealed bearing.  I have 200+ flights on one now, and it shows no 
signs yet of going bad.
