I have some trouble with setting the depth of my pilot bearing.
According to the Haynes manual the bearing should be seated recessed 3.2 mm from the clutch side of the flywheel. This info is the same in the repair manual document. On the Pelican board it says to seat the bearing flush with the crank side of the flywheel. I am guessing the data in the Haynes and workshop manual are the correct info but it still doesnt align with my reality (more info below) The picture below is from the repair manual and it shows the bearing recessed from the clutch side. But it also shows the gearbox input shaft going thru all of the pilot bearing. When I install the bearing recessed as above in my flywheel and bolt everything up the input shaft does not go thru the whole bearing, in fact it doesnt reach all the way thru the bearing at all....? Se below. This feels wrong to be since the input shaft barely will be supported by the pilot bearing and either my input shaft is too short (god I hope not) or something else is wierd in my combination of parts. Should I change my pilot bearing position to support more of the input shaft? Edit: Also part nr 7 doesnt exist at all in my crank (78 mm DPR crank installed by the engine builder) |
