576xp crank bearings

[peak performance]

I am rebuilding a 576xp. I guess crank bearing failures were common. The nylon cage in the bearing would get hot and brittle and eventually fail. Has anyone sourced a bearing with a steel cage? I have yet to receive my crank assembly, but I will be trying to source a better bearing.

Watch Donny Walkers video on nylon cages over metal and see what he has to say.
It made sense to me

It’s a proprietary bearing with an integrated seal. Good luck.
I probably have a crank kicking around if you need one.
