I like that plan, I feel like if you don't have the tin component of the bearing flashing then... it could be something else.
I shouldn't speak too much, it's been a while since I've been involved w/ that stuff.

I wondered fuel as well (something with a little lead additive) but sounds like you already thought of it.

It'd be really good to look up our bearing construction of that's possible, see what layers there are and materials. Some manual out there somewhere must have it... Easier said than done of course. Use that info to know specifically what to look for.
