Hey guys, so I put another 3.3 together and I used Boca bearings for the first time. They felt really nice after installing them and the motor went together great. But I hear sounds that sounds like dry bearings. I am really torn on what to do. I can push the truck and hear nothing so I believe it is in the engine area. But I got 2 tanks through it and it runs fine. I was supposed to leave both rubber seals on both sides of the bearings right?
 
so I made the decision to pull it apart and feel the bearings. They r smooth rolling and nice and free but they are noisey.Is this normal?
