Can anyone put me intouch with someone who can repair or has replacement bearings for a 1.20 Magnum four stroke engine. The bearings may be shot in my 1.20 and it might need repair. Thanks for your help.

If I buy replacements, how hard is it to get the old ones out and replace them with the new ones. I've never gotten this deep into tear down of a 4 stroke. I've had them completely apart except for removal of the bearings.

IT's not hard at all Mark, use a wooden dowel to tap them in and out with

Thanks Mike! Do you lightly heat the crank case first then drive them out, or just tap them out?

You must heat the crankcase. They are a press fit. Hobby People are the distributors of Magnum and they will repair it.

Put the crankcase in your oven at 200 degrees F and heat for about 15 to 20 mins and the the bearings will tap out very easily. Reheat crankcase when putting the new ones in.

I thought global hobby was the distributor of Magnum engines, Hobby People is just some retial stores, doesn't warranty work get done at global?

PS Say hi to USNA71 for me.
