Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts....just returned from Tracy Crook's Rotary Roundup. What a pleasure
it was to meet such wonderful hosts such as Tracy and Laura. They really went the extra mile in
providing good food, conversation and friendship. I met Paul Lamar, Fink, Robert (he makes the 2
cycle oil pumps for the Mazda), and so many other knowlegable people. I wish the weather had
allowed more to attend.
     As I mentioned in the past, I have a Ross redrive, and I was trying to find help in the
installation of the thrust bearing modification. I removed the Ross from the engine, and started
to disassemble it. Upon looking at the shaft, I found a bearing that might possibly be already
installed. Attached is a picture of what I found. If anyone is familiar with what I have, I sure
would appreciate any information regarding this bearing.  Thank you in advance for your replies.
