Hi,
As part of rebuilding the engine i replaced the gearbox bearings, and i have some questions and maybe you can help.
When i installed 2 of the bearings in the engine block side i noticed that they are not completley aligned with the top end of the
bearing seat. The bearing is about 0.5mm higher. but they just will not go inside more.
I don't remember how it was before i took the bearings out.
Is it supposed to be like that?
Here is a picture of the final drive shaft bearing (engine side), and you can see it is out about 0.5mm :
Here is a picture of the driving shaft bearing, also not completley aligned.
Btw, before i installed the shaft i put it in the freezer, and heated the engine case with an heat gun.
The shaft with the bearing on it just slid in very easily.
Here is the picture of the counter shaft bearing (engine block side), and here you can see it's fully down in the bearing seat.
Before i took out the old bearings, i did noticed that the gears have mark lines on them and that they are aligned with each other.
When i put the gears inside after installing the new bearings, the mark lines do align with each other.
Does that mean that the bearings are seated ok?
Here is a picture of the mark lines on the counter shaft and driving shaft gears (after installing the new bearings).
You can see they are aligned.
What do you think?
Thank you.
