good compression but bearing squeal

[joseph1]

I have #1 cly 125, #2 cly 125, #3 cly 130 ,#4 cly 130,#5 cly 125, #6 cly 130lbs My question is, is this good? should I rering the motor ? also I have a dry bearing squeal at about 2500/3500 rpm then it goes away when you power it up. I have to pull the power-head for the two end bearings,I hope this is my noise, Thank-you

Chances are if you are having a bearing issue ( squeel ) loud enough to hear at those RPMs your bearing and most likely your crank bearing surface is toast...Good or even compression numbers has NOTHING to do with an unhealthy bearing..

:iagree:i'd listen to jay. that powerhead has to be disassembled and inspected for damage to the crank and bearing surfaces in the block and front half

if you can hear it... the bearing is toast..... crank is more than likely hurt... pull it to inspect it...
these motors are kinda loud anyway. to hear a bearing means she is smoked..JMO
