Hi all,

Just an update on the OMC. I tore the engine down and cleaned it up. It's
now like new. I do have a question for the group though. I decided to
replace one of the main bearings (fan side) and am having quite a go
finding another. The part number is IKO # 71ba002. It is a needle roller
with a 1.675" shaft, 2.125" diameter, and .98" depth. If anyone knows
where to get one, please let me know. The guy who sold it to me is also
looking and gave me a couple other leads to work on. Thanks for the
advice on the reduction drive. I got a VW front wheel drive transmission
to tear down and look for gears for free. How much would it cost to
machine a housing and turn a shaft and prop hub? Would it be worth it to
get a mill and do it myself?
