russlench 0 Posted June 28, 2009 I have recently completed a 16v rebuild and it is sat on the stand ready to go in next week. A friend of mine pointed something out that I hadn't considered as I had not seen anything on it in the manual: On the gearbox side of the crank where the flywheel bolts up there is a recess - I have a picture here just to illustrate, the recess that is central to the holes for the flywheel bolts. My question is; should there be a spigot bush or bearing the sits in this recess to support the input shaft on the gearbox? The crank in the engine I have built does not have anything in the end - though I received it second hand and had it re-ground. I cannot find anything in the manual about this, but it seems odd that it would run metal to metal. Does anyone have any experience with this or can help me out with some advice. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
