Is your rb's front bearing leaking?
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - kevinF - 12-05-2006
tlkaing to me rocco??
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - rocco79 - 12-05-2006
yes
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - kevinF - 12-05-2006
well, i think so, because whenever I run a tnak or two i look by the flywheel and theres burnt gas and stuff, that i blow off with the air compressor

Kevin, if it helps I have my case from my rb with bearings. They didn't leak if I remember correctly, it's yours if you want it.
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - kevinF - 12-05-2006
why??? is that a problem?
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - kevinF - 12-05-2006
i dont see why it would be a problem, seeing how its keeping that bearing lubriacated???
no thanks, matt

if oil can get out in large volumes dirt and ait can get in!
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - Ponch - 12-05-2006
It's not supposed to leak though-the oil gets to the open (inside) side of the bearing because it doesn't have a shield.
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - kevinF - 12-05-2006
well how should I fix the problem then rocco?

New front bearing
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - kevinF - 12-05-2006
hmmm, well ill take the motor apart tonight and possibly tke pics, and then ill decide, how much are bearings?
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - Tex - 12-05-2006
front bearings can leak a little with no ill effects..... it's actually somewhat normal for a front bearing to leak a LITTLE.... if there is a significant amount of gas coming out it's not normal.
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - kevinF - 12-05-2006
its not significant, just small, like you can only see it when you flip the car and look right at the flywheel, its not like dripping, ill try to get a pic or show you guys at the track
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - rocco79 - 12-05-2006
Yeah i agree tex... Corey Crosley,dimo, another dude from this weekend whos name escapes me and now kevin all have the same motor and all have displayed the same thing... Look at dimos buggy after a 5 min qual... Serious leak... I can only assume dimos started as a small "normal" like leak...
Kevin i think if you go on amain the bearings are under 20 bucks. I put one in befor its simple.
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - kevinF - 12-06-2006
oh im sure its simple, just hoping puttting a new one in wont screw the motor up.....if i put a new one in, will I have to re break it in so the bearing gets broken in??
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - rocco79 - 12-06-2006
naw im pretty sure they require Zero break-in. If its just alittle burnt oil comming out dont worry, thats cool . Dimos motor coats his block and chassis ... Before it gets to that point fix it!
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - kevinF - 12-06-2006
welli have pics ill post up tommorow, the bottom of the mill is coated with grease and a little dirt, from the 3 day weekend....so I dont think its too bad yet
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 12-06-2006
u do have to break in bearings, just run a couple tanks slow without blipping the throttle hard you want everything to get seated inside the bearing
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - Tex - 12-06-2006
Kevin, that sounds a bit excessive. When I say a little oil should come through, I mean a little, not coated on the bottom of your motor.
Looking for Cheap .21 buggy engine - kevinF - 12-06-2006
well heres some pics, Im guessing it may be a bit too much??
