yeah, I guess thats how they go, I looked up pics on tuners of blackrosenova400's 61 and It was identical to this, the journals and shaft look excellent, If this is how they normally go bad, that doesn't surprise me then, cause this thing saw 30+ psi, and I like to use it on a regular basis. If I can find a compressor wheel on the cheap, I might try a 360 degree thrust bearing, found just the thrust bearing setup on ebay for 45 shipped, and its Kamak brand parts too.
