I have a question on the front bearing.
The one on my engine has about 0.5mm of axial freeplay on it. I noticed it when I stripped the engine to clean it. Only done 1 gallon through it. Now I'm a bit puzzled. Why does the bearing get damaged so quickly. As far as I know, there should be negligible axial load on the bearings.
Is it still ok to run the engine with that freeplay? Or will it tear up the con rod and crankshaft?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Cheers...
i myself just gone through almost a gallon..and already the conrod need to be replace.....as for the bearing i don't see anything...
but if u have doubts u better change the bearing...
