It is likely OK, but the bearing is gone, and I don't think I should spend good money on bad.
I'm sure there are a lot of people that share your experience. There's a lot that share mine as well - they just don't raise a stink on Internet forums like I do. Doesn't matter to me either way. If someone wanted to trade me equal displacement engines of good quality - like Italian Super Tigre, Enya, Rossi, Novarossi, Picco/Skyward, etc., I'd happily pass my OS engines onto them in trade. If someone were to go that far, you'd never hear another comment from me about OS.
