how can you give people advice or suggestions? ive only seen you at two races and you were pretty clueless.

you are a perfect example that you cant believe everything you read on the internet..

Clueless about what?

Yeah I only raced 3 races but I run my engine and car a lot and I've worked on it a lot so I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WITH ENGINES. Are you saying TKO bearings aren't what I'm saying they are?

I only give people advice or suggestions about THINGS THAT I KNOW ABOUT. IF I DON'T KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING I WON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT I KNOW ENOUGH TO SAY TKO ARE GOOD, HIGH QUALITY, LONG LASTING BEARINGS.

You're kidding me right?! You must be.

easy there cowboy.. if you work on your engine ALOT that says ALOT.

i run gallons of fuel thru my engines and unless the sleeve has to come out it doesnt come apart.. not even a little... so if your telling me you pull it apart a lot there is a problem.. last time you were at the barn you were running an engine on the lean side of destruction.. dont tell me you know what your doing.

you're kidding me rt? u must be.

nova has a new bearing supplier , the 17011 bearings are just fine now

there were a few bad ones in mid-late '11 that were a little out of the allowed clearances that they should be held to


whats the batch # mjealey

i will put a bug in someones ear about the bearing if you can take a pic of the header card with the batch#/yr code

I take my engine apart to clean it and check and change bearings or what ever needs to be done to it, does it mean I don't know what to do with an engine, thats why I have to keep taking them apart? No.

Now back to the point. You're telling me I don't know enough to say what bearings are good and what bearings aren't. Well thats not true. Yes, I do know what I'm doing.

Yeah the engine I was running at the barn was running lean, but it doesn't mean the whole engine is perfect. I was tuning the engine on the box and it wouldn't run any richer than where it was at. I didn't race that engine. It was on the track for a minute than I took it out and put my P5 in it and it ran fine and I raced with it.

There was a problem with that engine.

So tell me your horrible experience with TKO bearings to prove legitimacy in your criticism towards my advice/experience.

easy there choppa , he didnt say a thing about TKO bearings

I know, but he was criticizing me because I gave advice about TKO bearings. If TKO bearings are good, I should be able to recommend them without people thinking I don't know what I'm talking about.

i am absolutely positive his criticism wasnt from your suggestion of peters bearings which are a great cost effective alternative

I know, it was of me giving advice about TKO bearings, as if I was saying something un true, we all know what I said about TKO bearings are true.

VIVA LA NOVAROSSI!!!

Haha.

just so we r clear i just quoted the last thing he said because i didnt wanna multi quote 20 other posts..its not the bearings its everything else..

No problem Houston, I can pull it for you and take pics and give you anything you need. I will be busy with work for a few days but I will pull it and get the info. Assuming it is not the crank.......

as if the other things I said was not good advice or help, right.

lets see:

trying a carb from a working engine: to see if the carb is the problem, and if it still doesn't run with the other carb, it must be a problem with the engine

fuel delivery system: he said it would start flaming after a few mins of running, this makes me think its a fuel delivery problem, I'm sure others thought the same.

I can continue but I don't feel like it, and I don't need to.

If I have advice or a suggestion for someone, I will share it and if anyone disagrees with my advice/suggestion, they say it. end of story...

yes please double , triple , quadruple check everything else beforehand but if it does end up being the bearing let me know

man. code on the brng also

should be something like M11-M13 ish if it was one of the bearings that were having issues .

novarossi remedies any issues they have with manufacturing but they need to know about the issues or its very hard to do so

i am in direct contact with novarossi factory but you would have to preach your case to the place where you purchased the bearing which i would need to know also

email me any pics or correspondences to [email protected]
