RE: How do i replace the bearings in a saito 72 engine?
Model engines do not have a high parts count so some people think they are simple.
but you are looking at about 75 yrs of evolution by a lot of engineeers and mechanics. The materials are very select and the tolorances are close.
Once you get the hang of changing bearings it is not too bad.
There are a lot of people in this forum that know how to do it.
You are going to need a way to heat up parts of the engine and you will need a gear puller to get the prop drive hub off.
Also needed are feeler gages to set the valve clearance and metric hex key type wrenches or Allen wrenches.
