Ok. This thread is a piggy back of my other thread "My Busa Overhaul".
I have heard in the past that there is a way to change your normal engine bearings (for the rods and crank) into a needle bearing setup.
I also work on the Hamilton Sunstrand 54H60-91 and 54H60-117 propellors on C-130's. Around the blade area where it mounts into the hub are bearings that are two halves. I'm wondering if someone has manufactured some bearings that are two halves to use on my crankshaft for my motor.
I have no problem boring out the mains for the extra clearance needed. I'm also wondering if this would be beneficial to the build or is it just a pipe dream? I figure that using a real bearing instead of a normal engine bearing would decrease heat and friction as well as have a longer service life.
Let me know what you think
