RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
No Jim it is not a new one, It is the old front bearing I had in the Saito .72 that Horizon said it was bad. That tells me something, that using the after run works. Running off the fuel left inside the engine first, and adding 50% Marvel Mystery Oil (or ATF) and 50% Air-tool oil, after the day of flying is over.
That bearing had 90-100 flights and using PowerMaster 15%nitro/20% all synthetic oil, running rich. Unfortunately I lost compression.
But had nothing to do with both bearings. I am glad that I came across this thread, because what I've read in this thread backed what I always believed in. To take care of these little jewels.
Thanks guys.
Charles.
