Review on ❤️ High-Quality U-Joint Bellows for Vol-vo Pen-ta OM-C Cobra SX DP-S DP-SM 3854127 3841481 22197130: A Compatible Solution by Wesley Carreras

To smudge or not to smudge.

Got this kit when rebuilding my 1986 OMC Cobra. Gaskets and bellows are of good quality as expected. The gimbal is not what I expected. As a maintenance technician, I can honestly say that this bearing is a pressure-tight bearing for life. This means it will not accept grease as there is no grease hole on the outer ring. The housing in which this bearing is fitted has a lubrication hole which is useless in this type of bearing. Lifetime tightness also means that bearing life can be affected by the quality of the lubricant used by the manufacturer. Poor quality IE grease, early bearing failure and inability to pump quality grease during installation. Keep this in mind when ordering your own gimbal.

Pros
  • Bellows Kits
Cons
  • Hard to say
