Message	To my eye, it looks like #2 has 'Chunked a little.. All the bearing Upper Halves have changed color.. that means they have run through some of the plating.. it time to replace them.. It's always a risk to dive into an engine.. Once you open it up, the Gremlins can sneak in.. But if you have to be able to do maintenance.. so they must be opened up.. Just Doublecheck TWICE to make sure you do it right.. Cj
