Interestingly enough, I put in new bearings when I rebuilt the engine.

The font bearing apparently went bad.

Nice.

Replaced with a new one and so far, idle problem went away.

Bearing leaked through the double seal.

Take off one seal and you can see light throught the other (Surprised the seal

actually stayed on, flicked off with my fingernail)

Hmm. I don't think I will be purchasing Protek bearings again. I was just testing to see how these would hold up.

Back to TKO. Get what you pay for..
