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.

designed by Jerry Bass. I have a spare one free.
