Hi All
Interesting thread. I’ve used the arrangement suggested by Terrytuned in his thread “Alternative crank bearings”.
This involves a self aligning and deep groove ball bearing at the front and a roller race at the rear. I understand the front combination doesn’t offer the same restraint as a pair of angular contacts but as Terry states it works. Albeit in my case a 1 1/2” crank.
Parazine also states that his engine ran quietly and well for some time so a rear self aligning bearing seems to work.
Cheers
Howard
