Here is one for the record books.
I'm helping  a friend put in a new
clutch in his 1.9L  / 2.L mixture.
The engine and crank are 1.9L.  We installed
the pilot bearing as far as it would go. This
leaves it sticks out of the crank about 1/16".
When installing the flywheel, the hole in its
center, is not big enough to fit the pilot bearing.
Therefore as you tighten up the flywheel
you crush down the end of the pilot bearing
making it impossible to install the input
shaft of the transmission, without major
force.  This is exactly what the DPO did.
The pilot bear did not last, and then the
clutch went.  Now we have to fix this mess.
Any have any insight?
                                  Eric
