Whats the difference between the fc and fd rotor bearings. On mazdatrix website it shows the fds as (.005--.010), i would assume the fd have more clearance than the fc? Is it worth it to use the fd rotor bearings on my s5 TII rotor? I will be running fd front and rear stationary gears also. Will

I swore i measured both bearings including the groove, and i thought they were the same, maybe i'll run the fd bearings, since they are only $10 more.

Yep. Both FD rotor and stationary gear bearings come in different sizes. Problem is trying to find the size when the color marker has worn off

I just looked at my mazdacomp catalog and they do list three part numbers for the fd bearings. I would assume the three bearings are between (.005--.010). I wonder why mazdatrix only list one part number for the fd rotor bearing and stat gear bearing. Maybe they only sell the rotor bearing that has the most clearance.
