Pilot bearing's might be off center. Please read Warning!!!
Although my crank was too big (by .008) At least the hole was in the center unlike the new pilot bearing. Because I had to have a sleeve made for the pilot b/c the crank was too big. When this was being made we found the center hole was off center. Had the crank not been too big we never would of checked. The bearing was the typical pressed bronze/brass unit. These are done in a mold. The center hole was .005 off center!!!!!!! So please check your bearings before you put them behind your FE. We spent time aligning the Lakewood scattershield just to find the bearing made incorrectly
I posted this on the FE forum but no one seemed interested
