So, getting ready to replace the bearings and convert to oil bath on the impeller shaft. Initially thought of purchasing the Parts Pak rebuild kit (WSM 003-627) (2) to do each Shaft.
Questions I have are these, what all comes in the kit? Bearings, Seals, O-Rings? Everything you need relative to wearable items or just the Bearings?
What brand are the bearings? Timken, SKF, NSK or "Made in China"
I can purchase Timken / SKF for $10.00- $12.00 each, get what you pay for.
Trying to decide to purchase all the items separate or the kit, but want quality stuff.
At $40.00 a kit I am guessing the these are "Made in China" bearings, but would like to know from somebody who has purchased one of them.
As a side note , while doing some research on the Timken site, when running grease, the bearings are rated at 11,000 RPM max, running oil bath - 17,000 RPM..
Although 7600 RPM is max for the 1.8 Liter, obviously the oil bath is the better option.
