I have been looking rebuilding two stroke engines with seizures in mind.
A little bit of study about Ceramic bearings state no lubercation is required provided ceramic races and balls. Lower expansion means tighter tolerance increases efficiency
Can they be used when rebuilding a crank?
Forged pistons expand and contract at a slower rate than cast, so should I use forged?
any suggestions on trying to prevent seizures at low rpm, unloaded prop conditions

in a totally unrelated matter, I was looking at the MZ202 engine and had the thought that the fan cooling system could be utilized on the VW engine, use a high cfm fan mounted in a fiberglass enclosure designed for vibration driven by the crank
