Hey all,
The new engine i bought came set up for a manual transmission. I
removed the flywheel, but i have a few questions.
One is... there is a needle bearing pressed into the crank.. can i just
leave it in even though i don't need it for an auto setup?
Two is... do i need to remove the shims that were used to set the
endplay? If so.. do i have to remove the rear seal to get them out?
I would assume since i don't have a clutch pushing on the end of the
crank.. that there is not need to set end play.. and the thrust bearing
takes care of all that...
Any help on this would be grand..
thanks all,
jesse
