<DIV>Could you give me some info as to why a soft mounted engine will trash the
bearings quicker? I've been running Hyde type A mounts without a nose ring
on my DZ's for a couple of years now. All of my engines have been back to
YS and all have had the bearings changed, some twice. I didn't know that they
were bad, thought maybe they changed them just because they were in there.
Did notice that the old ones they returned were always rusty.</DIV>
