Not even 3 gallons...

[gnarkill]

I ran about 2 gallons through my savy (stock 4.6 motor) and my clutch bearings blew up in my clutch. I found what looks like 2 bearings inside the bell. What do I need to order, if not a whole new bell to get me back up and running.


-Thanks

Thats not bad for 3 gallons lol. My clutchbell bearing went out in about 1.5 gallons. Pics would help us tell you what you need.

 

[Gee]

1.5 gallons!?!? That not bad. Try .5 gallons.. Just kidding. Three gallons is really good from what I've been through. It does get worse when your 15.00 cb get tore up every time also. Pays to get like a 10pack of bearings and check them often and replace them as needed before the damage is done. How does that saying go? "Do as I say not as I do." lol

I usually change my bearings out every gallon or so just to avoid having them grenade on me. The CB bearings have a very hard life. High heat, high RPM and relatively high pressure, none of which is good for bearing life.

wow you guys have some bad luck, I'm still using my stock ones and i have like 5-10 on them lol. you can get the bearings at a good hardware store or auto parts store if you dont feel like ordering them, just take in the size you need and they can help you out.
