[NSRCA-discussion] OS 1.40 RX Bearing Question

[John Pavlick]

Carl,
 The "good" bearing to use has 2 seals - no shields. It's the one used in an OS 140 FI. The seals should of course stay on. If you have a shielded bearing it's probably a good idea to carefully remove the shields to allow the oil in the fuel to lubricate the bearing. The sealed bearings have lubrication in them already. I've been running the sealed bearings in my OS 160's for over 2 years now without a problem.

  I have a new Bearing for a 1.40 RX. I was wondering if the shielding cover should be left on or removed like the stock bearing?

  Thanks
  Carl
