Can anyone help me?

front bearing for sure, mine lasted a gallon and then started leaking, I changed for and koyo bearing that costs 4 bucks, with some sleeve retainer in inner side, no more leaking again!
7x17 is the size for the front bearing

hey guys, I would like to say I just got a OS .12 TZ 3 port. I ordered it along with some other stuff for my ntc3 and i just installed the clutch on it. It looks like a sweeeeeeeeet engine I can't wait to do break-in...but its gonna be a few months since its cold already and i aint doing it in the cold. Looks good...i will see how it performs soon enough

Just thought i might let you guys know that a myself, and a friend bought 2 TZs and raced them for the first time last sunday. In the A main final, we finished 1st and second respectively but as he was crossing the line, his conrod snapped in half. When i got home, i opened up for a quick look inside of mine, and everything seemed OK.
A couple of days later, i tried to put the flywheel and clutch back on the engine, and found that as soon as i tighten the clutch nut, i cant spin the flywheel! Im suspecting that there is a problem with the front bearing.
Considering that these 2 engines are new, run on 16%, not lean, with .30mm of head clearance, and broken in with heat cycling (as we do with our Novas), this is not acceptable. Our Nova based engines work a lot harder, are very quick, and last for much longer!
Lucky these OS gimmicks are as cheap as they are. This is my first and last OS...

funny thing is,i leaned the crap out of mine,ran 30% for 20 litres then started using 40%. at 23lt i decided to blow it up.full rpm on the starter box with 40% it died after 2 minutes.well,it didnt it ran out of fuel.put another tank in and full rpm again. got half way through that and the bottom of the piston skirt broke off. thats it! rod still looks in good condition
