Cam timing belt
Mechs,
The bearings in my SC 400 have grease/thick oil around the inside lip of the outer race. Grease is a real NO NO around the belt. It seems to have come out of the bearing seal.
Is that a condition that any of you have seen? Wouldn't it indicate that the seal is shot and is passing grease?
I am going to replace these bearings because I'm looking for noise that heralds a bearing failure. They don't feel bad or make noise when I spin them. I can see myself wiping the ring of grease off of them and re-installing them if I wasn't looking for a problem.
Thanks
John
Overheard conversation: Guy in parts store...I want to be cute and cuddly to the ladies. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT so I have three servings of baby panda bears and golden retreiver puppies every day.....You can't make this **** up!
