<DIV>I think Ed is very lucky. Probably, OS run out of standard bearings
and they put an FI bearing in his motor. It is evident that the common
denominator is that you can not get more than 30-50 flights from the original
bearing. My OS 140 RX has more than 300 flights after replacing the
original bearing with SS bearing. Yes, I still run dry the motor and
leave the piston in top dead center.</DIV>
