Here's the tracking information from FedEx for my 29 spline flange from nitro. Just in case you wanted a good laugh, Or cry depends on how you look at it. I think I will choose to laugh!

Since we're waiting for the parts to arrive from America via someplace or multiple places in Europe, I decided we should check out the big end bearings.

The plan was to do it is soon as we had some "free time". Good thing those parts hadn't arrived yet, as I probably would've put it off a few more weeks.

The gasket maker, silicone glue stuff, was gray so according to some other threads looks like it hasn't been opened up before.

The removal was all pretty straightforward no surprises in the process just lots of oil.

However the bearings themselves well I guess I shouldn't be surprised as the rig has 240Ks on the clock.

With the amount of damage to the Bearing themselves I was very worried about the opposite surface but I can't feel any grooving or damage at all.

I think I may have dodged a big, costly bullet!

Because these are so bad, what else should I check?

These are the only bearings I could find in town. Has anyone seen or used this brand before? It says "made in Japan".
