Default RE: O.S. .46 AX - bad rear bearing - metal shards... (pic heavy)

Somegeek That is sooo bad!! The gouges in the crankcase are deep. Must be what we heard right before the old dead stick!! It did sound cool though when the bearings were going out!! I think I'd save my expensive rebuild kit for a more worthy motor and replace that one. Anyway, good job landing that plane in the wind today. Tough to get back in against that wind when your engine just took a dump!!
