Hi, i have a question about my 3.3 engine. My revo 3.3 run fine but i find out the front bearing have air leak its that a big problem if i keep running or i have to change it?

any air leak is bad....throws off your tune..i'd try to fix it if you can...

can i keep running until the engine died? because i dont want waste money on bearing and maybe change a new different brand engine.

y ruin a motor, by not spending just a couple of dollars on a bearing? get a new motor, n keep the stock as a spare.

ok i will change the bearing then. do i need to change both bearing or just the outter bearing becuase dont know how to remove inner bearing and inner bearing still in good condition

you might not even have to replace the bearing. Is there any visible damage? After you remove it, check it for damage, and if none, you can try cleaning it well, then reinstalling it back into the vehicle, and testing to see if it fixed the problem.

really? just clean the bearing and try again?
