Default RE: Muffler bearings problem, please help!!!

My muffler bearings keep going out on me on my .40 engine, can anybody please advise me upon what I'm doing wrong?...........
Clean the inside of the muffler in a bucket of steam; then take about six inches of chow line to dryout and polish the inside of the muffler (chowline is great for this kind of clean up and polish); and finally relube with true bearing grease available at your local US Navy surplus store...Caution...Don't use the relative bearing grease as it will not hold the bearings in their true position...[img][/img]

Hey wait a minute, I've went through chow lines and bearings is not what got cleaned out on me. But hey, I do believe you could substitute the bearings out of a bore evacuator from a M1 Abrahams. They look like the right size.
