Yeah I did the two sockets press thing when I kitted mine months ago at the advice of my friend Matt who is a genius with motors. Worked fine and did the same thing with the E50 bearing. One thing I noticed with the E50 bearing that is different than the stock A3 bearing was that the E50 only had one hole for lubrication, a stock A3 has two holes that line up with holes on the top of the rod itself for lube on the wrist pin I believe. Either way I have not had any problems with it and fuck it, it runs. haha
Just a few extra facts
