Front and rear main bearings
« on: November 06, 2017, 04:19:17 PM »
'74 850T

So . . .  the front and rear bearings are integral with their flanges?  Or can they be pressed out of the flanges and replaced that way?

Looking at the parts list at Harpers, I don't see separate part numbers for the bearings distinct from the flanges -- just the bearing-with-flange parts, that is front 12011900 (with oversize options) for $172, and rear 12011400 (with oversize options) for about $300.

Is there a cheaper way (Guzzi content) to replace those bearings? Pete Roper's instructions don't mention one.

Nope, sold as a flange complete with bearing. MG Cycle is much less expensive.
Front main: $90-$95 for filter engines, $104-$108 for non-filter engines
1st under rear main: $153.57: http://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68_126&products_id=189

Ordered all the bottom-end stuff today. Crank came back with everything ground to one undersize.

Sludge trap was about 1/4 full with mostly rubbery stuff off the original chain tensioner.

Next step is to soda-blast the crankcase and gearbox.

Harper's may be a bit more money, but Harper's has OEM parts. Not something that is questionable as to it's manufacture.......
