The crank was too big by .008. Therefore I needed to sleeve the pilot bearing anyway. Pilot bearing are made in a FORM. Therefore they are all off by .005. I figured I should keep the one I had instead of buy another one that probably wouldn't be made correctly anyway
No, I read it all, it just seemed to me that a pilot bearing from a different manufacturer would likely be true to form. Right? And they're not very expensive. It just seemed that would have made for less work, would it not?
