Tough to tell for sure, but from the picture it looks like the bearing went in crooked. Decent chance that bearing won't be re-usable, so you prob want to have another on-hand in case...

Based off your comment, not sure it may be a great idea to reuse it. How will I know if I made a mistake in re-inserting it. It certainly didn't feel wobly or lose when I got it seated.  |

Rotors, pads, and calipers installed. There is binding between pads and rotors, so will need to adjust the calipers...which I hear is not fun. Calipers won't sit flush to the trailing arm, so need to also figure out how to torque them down. Had a friend help install the stainless fuel lines through the tunnel and in the engine compartment. Hope to get fuel lines installed this weekend and the fuel system buttoned up. One more thing off the list.  |

Got around to working on the replacement motor today. Turned it, and it spun 359 degrees, then stuck. Tried it again...same result. Pulled the motor apart and found this mess. It appears that a PO dropped a nut into the motor and at some point it went BOOM. But I was told the motor was good when it last ran...
At this point, I'm 0/2 on motors that came with this car. There is a 3rd motor, but I'm not willing to chance anything even though that motor turns over. Complete teardown and rebuild coming and I'll go to a shop for machine work. The question is do I go 2056 at this point? Will start calling shops in the Denver area starting tomorrow, and explore what my other options are. To say I'm disappointed is putting it lightly.    |

It's been a while since I've posted progress, but the car has slowly been coming together. All parts ordered for the 2056 motor rebuild and assembly should start in the coming weeks.
Interior has been finished (perlon backing off ebay) and a newer carpet kit LED headlight kit from 914Rubber arrived the other day and got install this morning Ben's muffler arrived this afternoon, and....well you just have to see it to believe it. The welds are art and I feel bad to cover them up. Excited for the next few weeks as things hopefully come together quickly         |
