Thanks for the suggestions guys.
The engine is in good shape (together)...not taking it apart.
The hole is plenty deep for the input shaft...just needs the bushing.
I've seen too many complaints about the roller bearing....but could be a bias on my part.
I believe the bushing is more forgiving...
I check it twice with a good gauge...it's .88 for sure . Dorman 690-025 was the right one (.885 OD)..and is obsolete.
I did see the .915 on E-bay...I have the .940 bushing, and will have it turned if no one has one at .885.
I just thought I'd ask ...save the trip to the machine shop.
thx guys
Unfortunately those I knew have passed away or closed shop.
I rely on my one and only local machine shop...they do good work & are always busy.
If I have to wait 3 or 4 weeks so be it...was hoping someone had the Dorman laying around.
thx
Thanks for the reply...could not find a NAPA with .88 OD...I'm seen too many bad comments about the roller bearing.
If no one has the Dorman (one member said he had a batch...but didn't answer my PM) I'll take the std bushing to my local machine shop and have them turn it down. They take a while...
Hi guys
I'm converting to a 4-speed and my crank is drilled to .88 but not reemed.
I understand the Dorman 690-025 is the bushing with .88 OD
I know I can have one made...but thought I'd ask first.
Thx
Mike
