[QUOTE=evan9eleven;364371]Yeah, I've read that thread. Nothing very kind was said there.
Insaro has been installing their bearing for about three years now I guess, only in Spain as far as I know. I emailed their engineer owner, Roberto, to ask some questions before I made a decision. Installs number in the hundreds but not thousands, presumably due to cost and a smaller market. So far they have pulled out 6 of their own bearings to inspect wear, all with good results except for an oil leak on the outer seal due to a poor installation. The highest mileage on one of their bearings is 72,500 km (about 45K miles.)QUOTE]
I'm not suprised that they are having good results witht that bearing. One of the complaints I recall that with that bearing design wouldn't sit clean to fit the flywheel or clutch. Sure doesn't look like a problem. It also has a secondary bearing as a back up plan. Brilliant!!
The discussion on the Insaro bearing reminds me of the discussion on the DOF on Pelican. None of this would have been possible with out the bearing puller tools I must admit. But I know...off topic.
I wish you many happy miles. And Nice Interior!!
