Bearing failure

Failure of the oil system can have serious consequences. In this case, the bearing journals have been very seriously damaged. However, it is unusual that the scratches caused by the friction in the dry bearing were more than 2 mm deep.

The repair consists in turning and then honing the surface of the journal. In this case, due to the depth of the scratches, it lasted several days.
