Default My car has the bearing/support upgrade finished

Here you have lots of pics:

My mechanic finished the work.
My car has:

- new SKF hybrid ceramic compound ***** bearing/steel hub
- new 12 mm bearing support F125 steel
- helicopter engine special seals (the best material to seal for high temp)
- OEM 3 flange end piece modified to place the new bearing support
- Valvoline VR1 racing 5W50 engine oil


The bearing support and the the 3 flange were made/modified by an expert lathe operator.

besides the oil filter/oil filter adaptor/magnetic drain plug purchased to Raby were installed.

Nice to hear you are happy over there. Sounds like you fancied up the improvements. Best of cruising in the car to you.

It's due to my bad english.
I only discuss with an engineer , the mechanic and one of the best experts...
I didn't add anything.

Everything was made by a soloporsche fellow before.

I tried to get it done by my mechanic following the same way to proceed as he did

More links of the help we had from our engineering.

I'll try to translate the explanations from my mechanic

He is very ironic and told about that the bearing was the same as MotoVespa (scooter) engine, ha ha ha

You should try to translate everything the mechanic said about the vespa bearing and the whole "me cago" part it was fricking hilarious...
Un saludo Para Espana de mi parte Vale...

3 pics of the old bearing, side seals and the support/stud:











The bearing was in pretty good condition. (Made in Poland by NSK)
But there is a huge difference between the OEM "little" bearing support and the one I did.


It's worth it
