Using crank bearings with plastic cage?

[Dea_944tTopic starterBerichten: 87]

Hi,

is there anyone here that have used the SKF6202 TN9/C3 bearings for the crankshaft, http://www.jmpbparts.com/lager-6202-tn9-vespa.html
They are supposed to be better than the ones with a metal cage but will the plastic cage hold up to the fuel oil mixture?

Yes they do and they have less friction, it is polyamide reinforged whit glass fiber, if i am correct

I drive them. You have to be very careful with the temperature, if you mount the bearing.

I heared of another member, that these bearings are common used for racing. So I took them. Maybe they have some more space, in case of problems with lubrication or so.

I drive them only since 125km on my reed valve, so don’t know how good they really are.
