I'm replacing the crankshaft bearings in this engine due to a leaking seal on the

front bearing.
Is there any reason not to use 2 sealed bearings at the prop end of the crankshaft ?
The engine originally has an open inner bearing and a sealed outer bearing. Dimensionally the two bearings are the same.

Thanks !!

If they fit I can’t think of any good reason not to use them. Most modern engines use all sealed bearings with rubber seals.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going for it.
I can't see a reason not to either plus I'll have 4 seals at the front of the engine.
