Thanks for the reply but like I said this is a brand new engine and the bearing seal seem to be tight enough.

Does this bearing only have a seal on the outside facing the flywheel and none on the inside?

Thanks,

Replace a new 607 bearing. It will solve all the leaking problem. You can get it in any bearing shop or STS distributors. Choice double contact rubber seals and don't take out any side...

Don't take out any seals? I noticed that on the STS engine. Why do you do this? Nova engines have one side of the rubber / metal seal (facing the engine internals) taken off for lubrication...

Bearing has its own lubricating oil. No need fuel to lubricate it.

crunch123 06-11-2004 06:13 PM

Just being curious, what's the price difference between the D5 and the D5R?
