Best Crank Bearing Maker ? Use of Crank alignment tool?

<< < (2/2)

Johnniespeed:
Edkx, do you know how they are constructed ? Are the steel races coated with ceramic? Are the Steel balls coated with ceramic ?   I have heard of turbo chargers using ceramic bearings, but I am not familiar with this yet.   I hope there are guys who can post the information. Does the lubrication require anything different ? Does the ceramic ever crack or peel ?

edkx:
To quote the fellow in the sept.2005 issue"The crank bearings get replaced with Power Spin ceramic bearings.I know the same place I get them from,TKO development,supplies them to many of the factories for their race bikes.The engine does rev up a bit quicker but the main reason I use them is because they really reduce vibration.That's a big plus over the course of a race."

moburki:
The balls themselves are ceramic afaik.
