Re: Mb rear bearings

I'm currently working on a mate's engine which I originally built 3 years ago with an MB rear hub bearing. Not long after that he complained that he was losing gearbox oil, although intermittently.

The Fran Race is a good alternative and offers more low-end torque than the JL4 and starts to pull hard by ~5500 rpms. For even more low end pulling power the Fran ...
