You cannot replace the rod bearings

My experience with used cases is deplorable. There was a 372 case for sale on Ebay the other day talking about it being a good used serviceable case. You could see terrible white rot in the bearing pockets to where I doubt it even holding a bearing.

People will try to sell anything on Ebay.

My personal experience is striped threads in the bolt holes that you cannot see in the pictures.

Typically the holes for the front spike are so wallowed out that a Helicoil will not work in there.

You need a case and a crank

Try to warm up that flywheel case half to get the bearing to release. Most of us use the oven. Hard to use a torch there.
