^thanks for the info
I'm not too worried about failure as I'm not building a high rev or high HP engine. I had read some threads about the FD having a newer style of bearing that I wouldn't mind using...but it's not a high priority.
I had come across some Cosmo gears for sale and gave that some thought. One of those had a new bearing the other did not. But for the money I'm better off replacing the bearings in the ones I already have.
Here are my 13B bearings. I had read if they are showing copper it's time to replace them.
