Hi,

since my engine is out of the heli for changing the clutch, should I replace my rear bearing of the engine? I've had one failure with a bearing with this motor, rebuilt it completely, but has been running fine for the last past 4-5 gallons. I've opened up the backplate, and everything seemed fine(couldn't see the bearing because of the webbing, but seemed smooth and you small pieces of alloy inside the case).

So should I do the extra trouble of replacing the bearing and loosening the fan etc?

If you've only had the bearings in for 4-5 gallons, I don't see why they would need replacing. If there making noise you may want to replace them.
