Got my gear ready and just itchin' .:cool:

Anyway you could put a recipe up ?

Yeah why ? Trails get closed due to traffic . :corn:

We just went up at around 8:00 last night and ran with the hi-lights on. Not a soul around after dusk. I usually barrow a flood and tri-stand from the job site so if repairs are needed I've got a 1000watt blaster.:fawkdancesmiley: We ran up FS538 and then we ran trails 4W677 and 4W661. We took...

Post a picture of the crack .:corn:

They could be cheaper than a place like frieghtcenter too.

I'm pretty sure I'll be out there on the 3rd, just hope to make it back in time for the UFC fights.

I ended up going with the King Race bearings, found alot of threads on 1/4 miler forums. Turns out they're far superior to non alecular bearings like Clevite. These guys tear down and inspect after so many passes so they had plenty of wear photo's comparing the two.

It's as 7m and it probly wouldn't hold 800 on the bottom end, just can't stand these guys that crack on "rice" motors.:haha: Eat a **** PUO :awesomework:

Are you trying to crack on a block that will hold 800rwhp on a stock bottom end ? You need a real joke to tell, not these fairy tails you're posting.:haha: This isn't an R series block.

Use the search tools here. They'll take you far.

Hmmm ? This is what they're claiming about thier alecular bearings: "The layer of Alecular material is far thicker than traditional babbitt overlays (.015" vs. .0008"). This provides much greater embedability, especially for the macro-particles (greater than .0004" in diameter) that are most...

Thanks WHITE TRASH, I think I'll be going that way. I'm finding that I'd have to buy outrageous priced main caps to use a wider race quality bearing. I'm going with the Clevite 77's unless anyone comes up with some testimony on something else.

I've never built a toy motor before and I'd like to replace the rod and mains with the highest quality replacement bearings I can find. Is there anyone out there making a better bearing than Clevite or Beck-Arnley? Thanks, Frank
