| ""Once it cooled both bearings were notchy!""JAdams,, this happens (happen to me, happen to my friend),,
because of the Bearings heating up the Light Grease in the Bearings has puddled and then hardened when cooled,,
the fix is to clean the bearings,,
if instaled remove the Crank, Piston and Liner, get yourself a Quart of Rubbing Alcohol and a Plastic Container with a Cover, add a few 5 or 6 ounces of R-Alcohol to the Container and Insert Engine, and let it set, I guess you could shake the Container,, repeat until the Bearings are smooth, then rinse very well one last time by just poring R-Alcohol threw the Engine, then let dry then add Oil to the Bearings,,
now build the Engine again,,
I guess you could use a De-Greaser first and let it set, then rinse well, but you would have to remove all of the De-Greaser before you put the Engine back together, and I know De-Greaser is a pain to remove,,
if someone has a better way on cleaning the instaled Bearings please feel free to suggest..
