The pics i have are of the damaged bearings.
Initially, i bought a few caged needle roller bearings and pulled the rollers out with the intention of setting up the crank to run a crowded roller arrangement.
Never got around to doing it though, as the shop where i bought my engine from, gave a very good deal on replacement engines, as i was providing them with valuable info and hi-resolution photos of where engine damage was occuring.
This info was personally delivered to the Nantong Jali factory in Japan, and they decided to go the route of using a crowded needle roller bearing, as it was the cheapest and most effective solution.
Having said that, the factory was already in the process of converting to the crowded roller bearing setup, as it was the only thing left for them to change, as they had significant numbers failing in their prime export market - America.
The photos, just confirmed that they were going in the right direction.
