Looks like he removed the sheild. I don't think that is a sealed bearing but rather a sheilded bearing. The sheild is somewhat like a dust cover. When you order bearings from Boca Bearing in Florida they will remove the sheild and flush all the lube and send them to you dry with the sheilds re:installed. The guys who compete in distance casting fishing rod competition want the bearings this way. The grease slows the reels down. Marc

No bearing swaps for me. In my theme of R&R, I'm keeping all things OEM....including the original made in japan bearings....
After really getting into this and gutting, I can see how things fit and the whole GX200 swap does not really look like a doable modification due to sizing of things and in keeping with all things OEM...
The shed is done, I left her unfinished. This leaves me with a whole couple of months to spend more time finding the perfect finish versus me just settling....so come springtime, clean, sand and then 2 coats of TBD ?
No snow yet, and I've yet to put the 621 back together. Still waiting on my parts order and besides, I'm on my 3rd coat that I just wetsanded. So another day for the solvents to evaporate, lay one more coat of paint and SHHHHHH, wait till it's real late and she's asleep so I can put the parts in the oven to bake them.....

The GX200 doesn't fit? Its the same engine block and mounting points as a GX160, only the piston stroke is lengthened. Are you talking about a GX200 clone? Anyways, you can always do other mods to boost power, check out the karting forum. :) Baking paint? Are u powder coating?
