I am ready to install the new bearing but I have been putting it off while I ponder whether to replace the flange with the new model that has a ribbed seal in place of the o-ring. As I understand it the only advantage is less chance of an oil leak. Up to now the old o-ring flange has worked for me in 3 different engines.
I could also replace the IMSB centre bolt with the improved one that comes with the Pelican kit... as far as I know it is not available as a separate part so I would have to buy the whole kit just to have the bolt. Is the failure of the original bolt really an issue?
