<VV> fan bearing coming out of top cover

[J R Read_HML]

I've had that happen only once - on a bearing which growls a bit when cold. 
Yes, I will eventually get around to replacing it.

It held the throttle cross shaft open so the "idle" was around 10-12 hundred 
and that was how I found it.  I held a block of wood on top and pounded it 
back home.  Has not recurred since - probably 2500 - 3000 miles.
Later, JR
