Default Anyone speak Saito FA 270t?

Jones:

Nope. No "N" in the middle. We have some Scottish blood in the family, and when you consider how many times you sign your name saving the ink for that one letter... Haw.

I didn't even think about the bearings.

When you're doing your "Free-up," if the crank feels grindy while turning replace them if it doesn't go away, and new rings at the same time.

If the engine was stored properly the brearings should still be good. And remember the cam gears can give a slight notchy feel also.

Run it, if you can hear the bearings definitely replace them. But you may find as it runs and gets the last of the old oil melted and gone it will smooth right out.

Bill.
