Ok. That's what I thaught with the rear bearing. They feel fine by them self. It only gets gritty when I sinch down the nut. Still replace?

yes replace both.... front and rear just for peace of mind.. at least thats what i would do

More than likely your front bearing is no good if you have already replaced the rear bearing properly . The bearings that come in the p5xlt engines should be replaced with a 17011 front bearing asap !! I usually offer this with engines I sell so you the customer doesn't have to worry about it later on down the road ;)

I have not replaced either bearings, just reinstalled them. What rear bearing you suggest

Factory rear 16800 and 17011 front

Or 16800C , lmk what you need Chad

Thanks a lot Monty for you knowledge and honest help. The Shop that sponsors me has a bunch of parts. But if there is something that he doesn't have or can't do for me. You know where I am coming

a good read
 

Wow!, what a facility! I hope they soon start printing
a "born on date" on each bottle of fuel. I'm buying gallons
of Byrons Gen2 30% from my local supplier for $24, while
his supply lasts.

Man those photos look like the first days of Byrons

I know huh

I should call ryan up and tell him to make it look updated :lol:

Monty did you get around to experimenting with the head buttons? i.e.Somender-Singh

This carpet stuff is making me miss the smell of nitro:(

whats up!

Monty, was wondering why you recommend replacing the front bearing on the nova p5xlt is there a problem with the bearing they use.I have not broken in the motor I got from you.I am not going to until the spring so have quite a few month,s,So should I replace the bearing before break in or wait till after, Thank,s

Carpet? The only carpet in So Cal is in my house. Let me guess you have wood jumps too. What, are you going Euro on us. :eek::o:smile::cool:

That's one reason why the p5xlt is much cheaper compared to the plus 21-4 line , the 17011 bearing is much more protective than the stock bearing that comes in the p5xlt.

Just lmk if you need one , I have about 14 left .
