Ok I may be beating a dead horse with this one. But I've seen a lot of conflicting information.
Grubee GT5B eng.
Rebuilding a new motor as a spare. Both crank and clutch bearings on the magneto side of the engine case are gritty as hell straight from the factory. I found quite a bit of metal shavings in the engine so far so not really surprised.
I'm looking at SKF 6202 2Z bearings. 35mmx15mmx11mm, Right size for both.
I've heard reports of people buying 4 sealed bearings and just removing the inner seal (or both?) from the bearings to use as crank bearings.
Is this normal? Or should I try and source (2) 6202 with double seals and (2) with no seals?
EDIT: Anyone have a good source for crank seals?
