Hi,
I'm putting a 2.1 WBX from a donor van with an automatic transmission into my 4 speed van. One thing I have to do is put a pilot bearing in the end of the crankshaft. When I stick my finger in the hole, it feels like there's a thin sheet metal cylinder where the pilot bearing should go. When I flick it with my fingernail, it feels and sounds more like sheet metal than solid crankshaft material. Please view this photo: http://www3.telus.net/public/tabe/vanagon/crankend.jpg The lower finger points out one of the lips of the cylinder; the upper finger points out the inner lip of the cylinder.
Is this cylinder a leftover part that I should remove before installing the new pilot bearing, or should I tap my pilot bearing in with everything as is? Thanks for any illumination! --tabe johnson xtabe@yahoo.com Immobile '87 Westy ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca |
