Does anybody have a link to purchase new crank bearings for the Zeda 100 firestorm; or do you know what size/part number to look for when purchasing?
Zeda Firestorm Crank bearings

Pretty much all these engines use 6202 bearings.
Specifically, you want to get a high speed 6202-C3 spec bearing.
Example (the ones I buy). https://www.ebay.com/itm/375362774887
You will need to remove at least one rubber seal on each so it gets oil from the fuel mix to the bearings. Easy to do with a pick or the tip of a knife though, just pry under the edge and lift up and the seal will pop out.
I prefer to run no seals at all so the crank seal on the case will also get oil, but some people experience issues with the crank seals popping out from the case pressure. I have never had a problem with this, but there is potential for it I guess.

I should emphasize, the C3 part is important. That is a wide radial clearance spec for high temperature operation. If you run a standard spec bearing it will wear out faster.

Do you have a link for needle bearings that will fit the Zeda firestorm 100 (for the connecting rod)?
I ordered 2 of those others from that link you sent by the way thanx for the help. I got my new head and piston in the other day now if I can just get these bearings in I'll be ready to give this thing the overhaul that it needs.
