Re: Pulling engine
I think his reference to the green grease was from the pilot bearing, which he was calling a “thrust bearing”..........at least I think that’s what he meant.
I don’t trust the chinee sealed ball bearing type pilot bearings. For a long time we usually recommended the oilite type pilot bearing (aka pilot bushing to some folks). I found a source of Japanese ball type pilot bearings (made by Naichi) so we’re now happy with both types. The Japanese bearings I bought are also used in the old generators, so they come with a snap ring groove but it presses into the flywheel just the same.
