maybe Mike (glock37) will chime in here but he asked me to leave the bearings and seals in from now on, I think the case edge is already basically clean and having them split doesn't pose a problem.
I sent Mike a link to the thread and asked him to chime in. He's out to dinner so maybe later he will. I know he bolts the case halves together and he has bearings that he cut and he slides them in to protect that area and then plugs the center of the flywheel side.

At first when we started doing cases we didn't relizes that the bearing bores would erode enough for the bearing to be loose
so after some thinking I use old bearing split them and knock out the innnererds and use the outer races to block off the bores to blasting and Powdering
also the seal bores gets a Silicone stopper pressed into to do the same
we also bolt them together to blast the outside together to keep the mating surface erosion down to a minamin
after the outside is done we unbolt and as fast as we can get the crackcase and other areas we cant get too bolted together blasted
I'm under the belief that when removeing cranks and bearing heat should be used to keep the metal to metal friction down when separating cases
to keep the bearing bores from being enlarged

The USA bars are nice, I bought one of the last ones that Madsens had for my 066. But to me they do look nice and are comfortable but the oem 3/4 just feels better in my hands
I have the oem bar in my 044 and the USA bar on my 064. I like them both! Ill be cutting with both for a long while tomorrow and see what I can tell after running side by side.

How do ya break a wrap from regular use? I could see if ya throw it every time your done cuttin but....

Look at the way it is built vs an oem,the oem has a plastic elbow to absorb vibrations and also allow flex,flexing a solid part and also the vibes could crack the aftermarket faster.the sftermarket full wrap should hold up better due to less flex over the 3/4 type
Madsens are in high demand with the PSP union local 3..i wish i would have bought them all..i could have tripled my money...i dont care for how they feel..i like the OEM joints mo betta.
I admire your wisdom sir.
