Would I ceramic bearing benefit me or would the steel one do? Also how would I know when it needs to be replaced?

Thanks for the help Mark. :adore:

Mate, I had it ready and waiting for you

Coupe has the steel ones. Much cheaper than the ceramic ones. The ceramic ones are about $60 each. Best of the best though.

I would get them now, and install them before installing the pulleys. That way you don't have to worry about it for a loooong time.

How many and what size? I don't have the pulleys sitting in front of me right now. They are still in NY but they are coming home tomorrow.

Thanks for the links Mark. The micro blue link doesn't work for me but I'm assuming as long as it is a 17mm x 40mm x 12mm ball bearing it will work. Also is it only 1 ball bearing that needs to be replaced?

 

[Torspd]

It would be however many of the smallest idler pulleys that come with the kit. Those would need to be upgraded.

It is a pleasure. Been here long enough to remember quite a lot of the old stuff.

So which one needs to be replaced? The smooth one or the grooved? Thanks

Thanks man. You should start a build thread of your own:top:

The bearing in the smooth pulley (on the tensioner) was on its way out on mine.
I changed them out for SKF steel bearings, they would be more than adequate for a decent life span.
10 minute job to change it as well, that includes taking it off the engine lol

Thanks for the help Jap. Do you remember the size of the grooved one too?

Right now I know that the idler/smooth one is 17mm Bore, 40mm OD, 12mm Width ... but I am unsure what the other ball bearing is. Also did anyone notice that the two bearings are made in different places? On is made in Argentina and the other is made in Korea:dontknow:

 

[darthyota]

wilson head over to bc bearing in calgary and tell them you want to replace the bearings you have(take them with you) with something of the same dimensions but with a better speed rating
