This pilot bearing was chewed up, I'll be checking the input shaft, oil slinger and input shaft seal. I'm wondering if anybody has a picture of the crank end, without flywheel or pilot bearing so I can tell if there is a shell I need to grind out. It is hard to tell at this point. Cheers for all the help. |

If the shell of the old pilot bearing is still in the crankshaft you will not be able to fit the new bearing.
If you go with a Diesel pilot bearing you do not need the felt and retainer, but you will have to have the flywheel counter bored about 1/8 deep to get clearance for the longer bearing. |

Is there a stop on the crank, or just sink it past the lip? |

When I took out my engine last week for some major maintenance, I found the pilot bearing to be in terrible shape. I ordered one from GoWesty's automated parts site (they sent me a package of 10.)
I am looking at the fitment, and it doesn't seem to be quite right, with the hole for the pilot bearing is smaller than I would think usual.
Is this a chunk of wood and hammer situation?
Also, is there any source for the metal retainer for the flywheel felt ring?
Thanks y'all. |
