Bill,
I was wondering about the 160 FX on the bearings. I've heard through a friend that he had been told that the bearings do not hold up past 50-75 tanks of fuel. This information came about at a time my friend had two 160 FX engines and one of which had shelled the bearings and ruined the engine at which point he replaced the damaged parts along with installing new stainless bearings and then didn't even bother to wait for problems with the second engine and went ahead and replaced them also. So, my question is what is the straight dope on this? Is it an issue or just some isolated incidences? I've read a few strands where some people elude to installing stainless bearings.....no explaination connected.

Let me know!
Thanks!
John
