Fred, be sure to watch your bearing speed. I'm sure you can get some
that will work but be sure they are rated for the higher speed caused by
a larger shaft diameter. You didn't mention if the unit would be greased
or pressure fed for lube.

I am planning to use engine oil (Mobile 1 or Paul's Idemitus), after the
filter, if that's OK with the bearings. The thought is to keep the cog belt
unit as close to the block temperature as possible to minimize any
differential expansion problems. Needs a high flow, low pressure, with
return to the pan. May even have to wrap the unit to keep it cozy.
