SERVICE BULLETIN NO SB-723
SUBJECT: RETAINER & NEEDLE ASSEMBLY CENTER BEARING FD & RD SERIES ENGINES
If you have recently ordered from
your Parts Distributor, part 302755
FD and RD center bearing retainers,
very possibly you have been informed
that this part has been superseded by
part 377855 retainer and needle
assembly.
The 377855 retainer and needle assembly is now being used in all FD and RD series
engines, on production and for service. The new bearing retainer is made of nylon
and is serviced as an assembly complete with needles only. The detail parts of this
assembly are not serviced separately. The nylon retainer assemblies (two required
per engine) are comparable in lasting quality to the steel retainers.
The old style steel retainer, part 302755, are perfectly acceptable for engine repairs,
and will be disbursed by your Parts Distributor until their supply is depleted. After
your Distributor stock of 302755 retainers is depleted, your orders for this part will
be substituted with part 377855.
