I'm building a FD engine for my SA. I purchased a set of 3mm FD rotors from different people. One rotor has a new bearing installed with 1200 miles and the other rotor don't have a bearing installed. Should i just order the pair? (I have all the bearing tools). Also the stationary gear bearings are good.. Should i just change all 4? Thanks..

If it were mine I would start off with all new bearing. You have the tools so you don't need them. DO you have the money for the bearing? If so I would say go for it - It is easy to replace them now as opposed to if the god bad after the engine is all assembled. Not that 1200 miles is a lot, but it is just easy at the moment!

Yea I'm gonna order all four bearings today. Don't want any issues later.. |
I would measure them first before doing anything.

I pulled this off the CLUB: new vs used bearing CMM scan
Now obviously this is just one used bearing, but you get the idea... http://www.mazdatruckin.com/images/RotorBearing.jpg p.s. Don't mind where the seam is on the used bearing, this was done with the bearing still in the rotor too... |
Measure it one way then perpendicular, measure your oil clearances as per fsm to see where its at. A lot of times, new bearings end up fitting worse than used ones, since people buy the wrong ones. With the fd/8 motors , you have to measure first, calculate then buy the correct bearing, going by colour alone is not correct, its just a starting point since Mazda uses the same colour for sometimes multiple sizes as well.

One rotor does not have a bearng installed. The other rotor bearing has 2000 miles.. Can i just install one rotor bearing and call it good after i measue the needed size?
