seals in. You'll get 300-500 flights with the seals in. With them out, you'll be
lucky to put 5 gallons through the engine before they're
shot!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><<If your Front engine bearing has two
rubber seals you should not remove them. These bearings have their own
grease and can help stop oil leaks. If your bearing has two shields, we
recommend you remove one of them. For instructions on removing your shields
take a look at this <A class=fpbodylink
href="http://www.bocabearings.com/main1.aspx?p=help#six">Help
Section</A>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your Rear engine bearing should be open on both
sides to allow as much fuel as possible to pass through and act as a
lubricant. You may however want leave one shield on in the rear which would
help to protect the rest of the engine from any foreign matter getting
through. This should not be done with one seal. If you find your engine is
stingy in getting fuel to the rear, you should definitely leave the bearing
open.</DIV>
<P class=body2><SPAN class=body2>In our next issue of the Boca Bearings Tips
& Advice </SPAN>Newsletter we will show you how to remove your bearing
shields. >></P>
<P class=body2>Note - if you open your crankcase, using sealed bearings, and
the crankshaft counterweight it dry-looking, or the lower part of the
bearing isn't pooling oil, you may think about removing the seals. I
do, for this reason.</P></FONT>
