OK, less than 7 days until the nats and the motor still isn't in. My replacement motor does not have the bushing installed in the crank for the 4 speed. So I picked up one of the mopar roller bearings. Which way does it go in? One side is chamfered and the other has a relief but square face. I assume that the chamfer side goes into the crank first to account for the radius that is machined in the hole.

Also, it looks like the rollers will run on a different location than the bushing. Will there be any interference between clutch disks and that bearing?

I am using a McLeod street twin clutch.

Thanks.

Cool. Thanks. I took the day off to hopefully get this thing together and installed today.

I would press it in using the bolt holes of the crank.

I've seen guys tap them in, but I get a funny feeling about that.

Put a little film of grease on and tap it in with a wood block. If it's the right size it will go in quite easily.


very clever dinner. appetizing food fit neatly into interesting round pie.
