The other day it was time to really start the reassembling process. All parts were examined, refreshed or exchanged with new ones.

This is not what you expect when opening NIB stuff

So disturbing, especially since I have order the parts from the other side of the Atlantic!

Not uncommon with needle bearings and their cages. I just push it in just like it was assembled in the first place.

I’ve seen way more mixed up damaged new in Box wiseco then I have seen from pro’s stuff. Recently had 3 of 6 wiseco .020 pistons with standard rings in the box. The pistons were not from pro they were From wiseco...

Give ProMarine a call, they'd probably mail you a new bag.

**FMP** · 03-01-2018, 10:55 PM

Captain, I'm sure you thought of that already. Bet they'd like to know. I lost a roller out of a new bag a few weeks ago, turned everything upside down no luck. It must have went into orbit, just gone.

**gfinch** · 03-02-2018, 01:24 PM

I guess I was seeing through to the needle on the other side. Maybe take every other needle out...Naaa

While trying to find another rod bearing, I’ve done some other stuff:

Next step; back in the owen iot drop a new bearing into the carrier.

**Captain75** · 03-11-2018, 01:14 PM

Hello again!
I decided to change the cranks lower ball bearing aswell while everything else is being replaced.
What kind of tolerance is needed? The parts lists I’ve found doesn’t say.
The bearing I removed was a 6308 C3 bearing. The question is wheather to use a bearing with a normal amount of play or if the C3 with added play is needed??

appreciate your replies!
