Ok Ive run into what i think could be a big problem while changing my crank bearings.

The rear fell out ok but in the process of knocking out the front one(while the engine was hot) it fell to peaces. Now just the outer ring of the bearing is stuck in the crankcase and it wont budge and theres pritty much no way of grabbing onto it/getting to it to pull/knock it out, that i can see anyway.

Im thinking heating up the engine then getting an eye dropper with some freezing cold water and carefully dropping the water on whats left of the bearing?

Any ideas?

what are your guys opinions regarding the non tuned GRP? I already have a dynamite 053 pipe.

good, little less torque and fuel mileage, but still a great motor

is the bottom end decently strong? What kind of mileage am i looking at?

its decent, your prob lookin at 8.5 min/tank MAYBE more

I currently run a dynamite 21 so will it be better than that?

ive never ran that motor so idk. actually ive never heard of it either.

im runnin rich on mine right now because im on break n still but i love my tuned grp, i have a lot of torque and like 10 min run times on rich settings

it is based off of an SH motor.

Still pushing the ole search thread crap hey, some people will never learn!!!

Maybe try to find some sort of collet type tool at a good tool store near by. Or maybe ask/look for the same tool at machine shops, just drop in, be friendly, and ask if they can help you out with removing the bearing race.

Jonro- this may sound odd but it works.
you will need some one that is a pretty good Tig welder, just weld a small bead all around the outer race where the balls ride and let cool, the weld will shrink the race and it should fall out.
Tom

are you able to still get a punch on the outer lip????

Try heating the case from the outside w/ a micro torch, i have used this with success on motorcycle cases.Tigging sounds good too but I would try heating .....even and quick should do it .....Good Luck.

u probably want an oxy u want to heat the case up as fast as possible so the bearing will hopefully fall out

xpertpredator- Up until recently, I was running the Tuned GRP. It is an awsome engine! The tuned version is great quality, I cant imagine that GRP would cut too many corners in their non tuned version. I actually read "somewhere" drake (if I remember correctly) say the closest he could come to comparing the two, would be like a OS Speed to the V Spec. Both are awsome engines, just the tuned has a little more power, and fuel mileage is obviously better. Other than that, they are both great.

I can tell you that the Tuned version has great power everywhere, and a super smooth delivery. Its the best engine I have used or driven with. If the Non Tuned is anything like the Tuned, you cant go wrong IMO.
