I've motors ( NR) that they are in..... ceramic rear, and steel front....... the front takes the abuse, and will need replacement far sooner, which upon inspection periodically, warrants so....... I've never had a rear fail, ever. Granted, that when they do go, aluminum/brass, and a hardened rock ball dont get along well toghether..... basically, when you toast a nova, for any drastic reason, there isnt anything left, usable anyway..... and you have made an avoidable error you wish you hadnt........ Replacing with only factory brand bearings, rod, and wristpin diligence, and serious maintenance applications equal longetivity..... thanks Arch!
The little extra they give is there, for i have engines, steel, and ceramic...... and they differ.......
The pictured bearing may warrant a try..... I have thoughts, that with todays fuels, and synthetic oils burning so clean, that, we forget to leave a little there for the bearing and its starving self..... castor may be old school, but, if i were to have full ceramics, i'd have some in my fuel........
J dub, has it down!...... For it does go like that..... ZZZZZZZ zzzzzzz zzz zz ping zzzzzzrrrrrt. makes your stomach crawl........ unmistakeable...... he's built enough, that the silence after 'prolly doesnt phase him anymore......
Checkin out of Holiday Inn......... didnt sleep well last night...... good luck... post results.... Mike
