    yeah i would say they are.

    same as any other 4t engine like the cars.

    they have the same shell bearings.

    they should have like a little hole in the middle of the shell for oil and oil comes through and creates a thin film of oil.

    they shells are on the inside are very soft metal(can scratch it with your finger) that like soaks up little metal sgavings etc.

    sure you already knew like buy hey lol

    cant wait to see it runnning though

    ye all this nonsence wiht the whole "the bearing is the case, its machined in and if its fucked its fucked" fact is haynes asked piaggio for a replacment part, they wont sell them.. thus rendering the cases irriparable.. christ the engines would be more reliable/last longer than a c90. when would they ever unload more moddels... ye there just pressed shells. fact is nobody list's them, but SOMONE fuckinwell made em so ye, wont be too difficult to scorce/make im sure.

    so many people just chat shit/among themselves rumors ruin practice. ANYWAY its going back together as soon as gasgets/replacment parts are in altho it came apart pritty easy once we persuaded the road salt soaked gasget to let go.. will be interesting to see what it puts to the wheel ether way. lookin forward to doing the head (well half of it LOL)

    Didnt fancy modding the cases and doing a quasar 300cc conversion then... haha.

    Heads respond very well to gas flowing and opening up a little...
