<VV> Ceramic Bearings for Blower & Idler Applications

[Mikeamauro at aol.com]

"...Are any the right size?  If not, you're wasting your time  thinking about 
it...RonH..."
 
Well, Ron, I don't know, but that's  what I was asking. As bearing I.D. 
numbers are fairly universal across  bearing manufacturers, if someone would supply 
the blower and the idler  bearing I.D. number (from off the bearings), I'd be 
happy to research and get  back to the group. But, before I "fly to the moon 
in an entirely different  rocket ship," I'm also asking if someone has already 
looked into this whole  ceramic bearing issue. I believe it was Dr. Demming 
(of Total Quality Management  fame) who coined the phrase: "The definition of 
insanity is doing the same thing  over and over but expecting a different 
outcome." Applied to us Corvairers: if  we want to increase reliability of our old 
machines, then we need to be willing  to think outside the box and apply new 
technology whenever possible...  that's my motive, here.
