A wile back i bought one of thows alum after market oil pedistools for my FD, well there was a big mess up when they where making these in 3 Parts and pressing them together, well my 130psi oil pressure found the weak point.

Well i ran it for about 30secs with no oil, this was when my low oil light came on

I have put about 5000 more miles on the motor before i had to rebuild do to a water seal.

Here is just some pics of the bearings

I will be sending these to Rx7.com to press in new ones.

 

Meh, that's nothing....

All right you win!!!

 

huh, so they do need oil for the bearings but what to they need the bearings for? I mean chuck, you motor ran strong with screwed bearings.

 

It would run a wile until they really died, then i would have to spend some real money

 

might be a dumb question, but did you drill those bearings yourself?

 

That is the Stock FD Bearing.
