Which bearing/IM

Post by kenped8 »

Which release-bearing did you use for your klze engine with k8 tranny?. The 626 release-bearing is 2mm shorter than the k8 one. Can i use the one from 626? And are the runners on the 626 IM just as big as the ones on the klze, or will i have some power loss?

The runners are slightly smaller on the 626 then the ZE, probably not much loos though. As for the bearing :shrug:

That`s what i also thought about the 626 IM. It`s the only one i can get here in europe that is bigger than the k8, so i will have to go with that one. Did anybody have the "problem" about bearing?

Is this release bearing you're asking about the Clutch Release Bearing (Throwout Bearing)? Because I've just checked the Parts List and the same part, Collar Clutch Release LF01-16-510, is used in the MX-3, the MX-6 and the 626.
