You might check with "Just Engines" located in England. They sell spare parts and engines.

For your main question, no Asp and Irvine are not the same engines. Like was said in the other post, check with Just Engines there in the UK.

Hi!
All .40-.49 engines (except Rossi) use the same size rear ball bearings (28x15x7mm).
If that fits the Irvine ...don't know. But do not replace the bearing with what ever bearing you find!!!! Best bearings are the Swiss WIB (C4) bearings that we use in pylonracing. C4 means it has less play than "standard" bearings between the balls and the outer and inner surfaces, for less friction)
