    Crank Bearings

    So now I'm confused..

    I've heard the yellow crank bearings are the thickest ones, and I've heard the blue ones are. So which is it?

      Tod...

      Back when we were deciding about what to do with mine, "Shappers"... a guy from Finland, sent this chart... saying the blues are +.006/+.002, blacks are +.002/-.002, browns are -.002/-,006, greens are -.006/-.010, and yellows are -.10/-.014. Hope this helps. Good luck, and have a good one!

              Also....

              You bet!!! LOL. I also read a little farther, and found one from "Randy, Swamp Thing" who further clearified... "So, then the numbers on the blue bearings in the chart are undersize numbers and the yellows are oversize? That would make sense." Best of luck, and hope you get her goin'. Bob

                      bearings...

                      Just to clearify... yes- the way I read it, the blues are thicker.
