Art, I just got around to looking at your "racy" pictures. To quote Benny Hill, "It's not a pretty sight."

As I mentioned, I came to have a great deal of respect for rolling-element bearings once I was up close and personal with turbine engines. A wheel bearing does maybe 800-900 rpm at highway speeds. We had a 1200 hp engine with a compressor speed of 50,400 rpm (and the accessory gearbox ran at 72k!), and its bearings were only slightly larger than the wheel bearings we use on out bricks. Chances are, it cost a little more than 15 bucks!

Thanks for posting the pics. By the number of replies I think it was worth the effort!
