Can anyone suggest a supplier for a new big end bearing for VC 160 2-stroke late 1970's? The size data is shown on the accompanying photos. I've looked everywhere but the only bearing that I can find is a fully encapsulated roller bearing which seems quite different to the separate roller system that I found once I slit the crank shaft.
Dear Max thx for your rapid reply but I cannot possibly see how the proposed bearing (HK1616F) would fit my application? 1. Bearing OD from your literature is quoted at 22 mm whilst the bore size on my con-rod is 27.61 mm - see attached photo IE. Bearing OD is 4.4 mm undersize. Q: Are you implying that I need to machine a sleeve and fit it to the con-rod big end bore to take up the gap? 2. Additionally, bearing diameter under the rollers from your literature is quoted at 16 mm whilst my crankpin diameter is 19.63 mm - see attached photo. IE. Bearing is 3.6 mm undersize so the crank pin cant slide under the rollers. Unless I'm missing something, I see cannot how the HK 1616F bearing would work in the big end application. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
