Force One Bearing

[eschrom]

Do you see how the axial oil channels in this Force One bearing go all the way to the end of the part? That doesn't seem right to me. The channels should terminate in order to deny the oil a shortcut out of the bearing.

Does anyone else happen to have one available for inspection? Is it the same?

Thx,
Ed

I will have to dig through my picts tomorrow. Not sure if I have a good one of that area however.

How does the oil return to the pan or sump?

Thanks, Jeff. See the pocket in the #1 main bearing right next to it? It does not extend to the edges. Was your oil pressure good with the F1 installed when you were running a stock 26-mm pump?

Bill, there is a hole in the bottom for drain back.

Ed,

No, the pocket does not extend to the edges. I am running stock sized gears in the pump now and have plenty of oil pressure.

Jeff - do you have any visible oil trace on the outside of the seal after running the engine?

I am running the Force One bearing and have no visible trace of oil on the outside of the bearing at all.
