Hi.. in honor of Bob I would like to add to that video that it is better to soak the pilot bearing felt dust seal in oil some, rather than install it dry as stated in the vid, the one I watched at least. somewhere I saw something soaking the felt ring in engine oil.. - some tech book Makes sense to me. All seals on turning shafts need to be pre-lubed after all. and I always do that, soak it in oil, and it works. scott turbovans On 4/13/2012 5:19 PM, John Jensen wrote: > Searching the Archives I found his video, which is still available, of > Boston Bob > showing how to install a flywheel and adjust endplay. > http://wetwesties.org/video/bostonbobbostig-proper_wbxflywheel_install.wmv > > > -- > John Jensen > johnjensen@johnjensenartist.com > http://www.johnjensenartist.com > bluesbug@verizon.net > |
