I live in Australia and am currently rebuilding a 1985 4hp Johnson. On deasembly I lost 5 centre bearings, I also discovered that a few ofthe connecting rod bearings had rust on them. I got a quote from OUTBOARDPARTS.COM:<br /><br />Set of NEEDLES for Center bearing (part no. 0388993) $44.00 US<br /><br />2 sets of NEEDLES, for connecting rod (part no. 0396068) $50.52 US<br /><br />ALSO<br />Impellor $22.99<br />Piston rings $13.50<br /><br />Just wonted to know what you guys thought of the price for the bearings and other items? Do they seem fair. <br />Can I use only 25 for the centre bearings? <br />Also should I reuse the slightly damaged conrod bearings or replace them for $50 US?<br /><br />If these prices seem to high can any of you guys recomend a place that beat this price?<br /><br />Thankyou

Re: Ridiculously priced part

I'm not sure about the prices.<br />You need all of the bearings, do not use just 25.<br />Do not reuse the damaged conrod bearings, replace them. $50.00 is alot cheaper than a new block.
