it's not the bearings... it's the greasing of the gearbox...lol. I'm sure YS

<DIV><SPAN class=820532403-04092006>Nice. Well, the bearings in my OS 160
are still fine... Sorry guys. You knew someone had to do that. Seriously,
how does the pin go into the piston? Is it held with clips? I wonder if the
fit is too tight. Full floating pins (pins that ARE held with clips) should
be fairly loose in the piston and the rod. Maybe it's just a fit problem and
not a weakness. If anybody has a new motor it might be worth taking it apart
to see if the pin fit is really tight.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a
problem with the piston cracking arounf the wrist pin boss. I now
have a second one with this same problem. It like the first
one was running like gangbusters and gradually started losing power. On
tear down the cracked piston was very evident. Going to send this
one baxck to YS with the first piston also. Looks like the larger
piston in the 160 is weak in the center.</FONT></DIV>
