how many rollers are in the flywheel side bearing on an '07 PX125
just stripped an engine down after seizures, and this bearing cage had collapsed.
obviously will be replacing the bearing, but until I get a new one, it'd be good to know that none escaped and fell into the rest of the engine as I split the casings, as I wasn't planning on taking it apart any further.
I have retrieved 22 rollers so far...

The crank area is sealed from the rest of the engine (gearbox-clutch) so it would be very difficult for anything to get to the bottom end, unless it finds a way through the clutch side oil seal and bearing...
Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"
