Wow, I can't believe how much smoother and quieter my OS-55 HZ-R is running when starting and idling with this upgrade. Hopefully I'll get a couple flights in on my N5C this morning to test it out. Great service by Magnum getting it turned around quickly. I shipped it last Monday and had it back by Friday.

Nice! I wouldn't have another nitro engine without this done to it. I too was amazed at how much quieter it was than a stock bearing.

I had it done awhile ago in my spare motor, I just had to install the motor and have a couple of flights on it, I like it!
-
Thanks for posting those pics. I was curious as to what it looked like.
I am bout to send in a 105HZR to have this done. This winter I will likely have it done to the 55HZ.
Cheers

For sure the best mod to any nitro motor, My last ys had 30+ gallons through it and it still looked like that.
-
Ive been following this for some time now and have heard nothing but great things. had it done to acouple of my motors and runs flawlessly. no were at all. Well worth the money!! I am also going to be having this done to both my 105's.. Thank you for posting..

I got a couple of flights in today with it in, and the engine definitely sounds alot smoother.
-
Glad to hear you're liking it. I believe it's one of the best "underground" enhancements out there. I say that because there's not a lot of advertisement for it but more word of mouth and it really works well.

This is my first nitro and I'm learning the ins and outs. Had glow plugs go out, it wouldn't run because there was a hole in the fuel line, and finally got to hear what a nitro sounds like as the bearig goes out. Other than the smoothness of it, my main reason for liking it because there is one less thing to worry about. Worth every penny!

I agree 100%. I HATE changing motor bearings. The whole process of pulling it out and heating it up ETC is a pain. No more worries for the win!

Ok, you guys have convinced me! Just need to buy a new crankcase first. My current case has some deep gouges inside where the rear bearing has come apart in the past. ::)
-
Darren,
They will LINE BORE IT. Send the Crankcase and Crankshaft and they will handle the rest!!! ;)

Sent mine in yesterday. Hope to have it back Friday so I can fly at Chattanooga this weekend.

I hope you have it in hand Darren. I will be at Chattanooga also and would like to see and hear it in action.

Got the motor back today. Has anyone noticed a slight amount of end play in the crankshaft with this bearing installed?
-
you still have end play with the clutch bolted up to it??
-
Yes, I did. Had to add a shim between the crank washer and the fan hub.
-
I also had a very slight amount of end play on my shaft too. I didn't add any extra shim. Should I?
-
Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to send mine to them...

Most definetely is time. :)
Looks like you may be running a little lean there ;)
-
Yeah, just a touch. On the plus side, I had a lot of altitude when it grenaded and I had a successful auto.

Good Job Rodney bringing it down in one piece. All the auto practice I've done has definitely saved me on several occasions.
-
I don't know Rodney, I think she may go another Tank?? LOL Did it Pepper the Head? I assume that is a OS55? Good luck, I am going to be making preparations to send 1 of my 105's out.

Yeah, it didn't run so good after it did that. :D
The piston is the only thing damaged. Everything else looks brand new.

I talked to Buzz at Magnum about it and he recommended that I do so. He said there definitely should not be any end play. It didn't make sense to me why I couldn't take up the play by tightening the crank nut, but apparently something is bottoming out in the fan hub.
Now have almost 3 gallons thru the motor with center-glide and I am very pleased. Quiet idle, plenty of power and needles are the same as before.

Darren,
Thanks for keeping us updated. Mine will go in for sure when a bearing is needed.
