    Those bearing cages and rollers were used on a bunch of early Jonson engines.I replaced the rollers on a S45 and had no problem finding new ones.

    Stanley, are you saying you found brand new rollers to put in the old cages,
    or replaced the bearings assemblies from another motor?

    The part that worries me, as stated in the manual, is that most of the
    wear will take place on the crankshaft, instead of the bearing rollers.
    Thanks.
