I can do it on the race car any time. That 80 pounds is out of the question. Even a plain bearing from a piston engine would have trouble with that. The thrust plate is not all that stiff, and can also be damaged by prying on the crank fore and aft. Lynn E.

I talked with Ray Fiset twice for about 30 seconds each time before his cell phone dropped me and got a recording in French, 5 more times, drat, those guys sure could use a course in business management. I sent him a fax on Wednesday and haven't received a reply as of yet. The address for Dave Leonard's web site was very helpful and I will replace the bronze pilot bearing with the ball bearing next week and if I still can't contact Ray, I will replace the tapered drive pins with straight ones and try and get the project in the air.
