I understand that the bearings are the 6306 type. From the MZ videos they are semi shielded (inner side) Are the shields the rubber ones please or the metal versions?
One little side issue which I am SURE will cause some differences of opinion. I will be buying standard clearance types, not C3...My opinion is that C3 bearings are used mostly when the centre shaft runs hotter than the case such as that of an electric motor. The crankcase of 2 stroke motor runs reasonably coolly and the cases are heated along with the crankshaft to a very similar temperature so there is no extra slack required when running as the bearing heats uniformly too...On top of that a reciprocating piston engine creates lots of harsh push and pull forces in the vertical plane at TDC and BDC, so unlike smooth running electric motors the extra slack of a C3 could create some hammering (IMO). Many people are misguided that C3 bearings are of superior quality...this is totally wrong they are identical in quality, just that the C3 is looser.
