questions</font></font>
<br> </div>
<font size=-1> I talked with Michael Rudinsky from Boca
Bearing while in Toledo. He did measure the bearings in my 3M 170
engine. The frt. bearing is the same as the frt. bearing for the
O.S. 140 RX. Michael told me the rear bearing is a standard size,
but they do not stock it. Michael told me that he would order some
and call me when they came in. I have not heard from him yet.
I will call him tomorrow and let the discussion page know what he came
up with. In Toledo he also told me he would be able to offer the
bearing in the ceramic version for those that are interested.</font> <font size=-1>
On the installation of the 3M 170 engine question. I installed my
engine on a Hyde ARI (A) mount for an O.S. 140 RX. It was a direct
bolt in deal. The exhaust clears the mount with now problem.
The 3M engines use an o-ring manifold that the header attaches to, just
like the O.S. You can use an O.S., Harori, or 3M header on the 3M
manifold, and will all clear the Hyde mount. The only difference
between the 170 and the O.S. 140 dimensionally, is the 170s cylinder is
slightly taller and larger in diameter, otherwise it is all the same i.e.
exhaust location, throttle hook up, and fuel line hook up. The needle
valve is slightly higher on the O.S. than the 170, but on the 170 you can
change the mounting angle of the needle valve if needed to line up with
an existing hole in your fuse if swapping from a O.S. 140.</font> <font size=-1>Hope
this answers your question,</font> <font size=-1>Mike Darr</font>

I can offer an answer for #1 only . . . .. . . Mike Darr had
his 3M 170 at the Toledo show, the Boca person at the show measured the
bearings so they could offer replacements. I would call Boca to see if
they are available or when they may be available.

<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>For
those in the know regarding the 3M 170::</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>1:
I notice the rear bearing is a double back ball bearing, I do not know
what this truly means, but will Boca or the US based 3M retailers
have the replacement bearings available? Any other substitutes? Don't want
to be needing a bearing in the middle of the season and be waiting for
a bearing from Italy!</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>2.
Same question as above but regarding rings? Do the retailers like BuyRC,
PlanesPlus, AeroSlave, etc, have replacements in stock, or plans to?
Again, I do not want to be without use of an engine waiting on a ring or
bearing from Italy!</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>3.
Will the 170 be a drop in replacement for the OS 140? I have heard the
bolt patterns are the same, but what about the position of the nose ring,
exhaust,etc? Completely interchangeable with no refitting needed?</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Many
