Crank bearing behind compensator
 

I have a 2007 Ultra and last fall I had to replace the compensator. I washed out the stator with contact spray and blew with air and ran white cloth behind stator till i was confident that nothing was behind it. Replaced with the screaming eagle kit. It still looks like a poor system but at that time that is all i could get.

My question is: Is the crank bearing on that side a sealed bearing or is it open to all the junk that floats around in the primary?

Now that I have time to think about it, it is on my list of concerns.
Thanks,
Jim

It is a open roller bearing, has been since 03 when they did away with the Timken.

Thanks Mark,
What keeps the primary oil from mixing with the engine oil? I know you drain two different compartments, and refill in two different places?
Thanks, Jim

It is sealed from the primary by an oil seal that is installed into the case.

Yes there is a seal there.

Looked at Ronnies and found only one brg on that side.
No worries now.
Thanks,

is there a time frame to when it will be released?

Not sure. Call Darkhorse for the latest.
