Does anybody please have a contact for the new owner. I have just gone through the bearings in my Tourer and found the rear inserts fried again - even after cutting a groove for oil to reach the back of the bearing. Surprisingly, this time the cap on #2 main bearing was OK. I have suggestions to make on improving the design of these inserts. As it is, they don't handle heavy use.
Who knows, we may all benefit from any improvements the new owner might make.

Schwalms is the place to go.
Strasburg PA is about 250 miles from Yorktown VA. Don't drive I-95 during rush hour or bad weather. Even on beautiful sunny days it's a crap shoot.

Not a fan of inserts. Spend your money somewhere else.

Thanks Bob. I have sent them an email. Now I wait to see if there is a response. Many companies don't bother. I hope they do. Otherwise, I will have to ring them.

Well, a week and a half later and no response, which is disappointing but not uncommon. I guess I'll have to ring them.

Sounds like best case scenario. Thank God for that.

I had to pull my engine for a starter drive bolt that had come loose and jammed between the flywheel ring gear and housing. I am now running modern starter drive, works great.
