I realized the shop that replaced the crankshaft in the M50 failed to swap the pilot bearing over. Now I'm in the midst of assembling/installing the
engine and have hit a roadblock. No dealership or realiable import auto place nearby. However, there are industrial supply shops where I may be able to find the right sized bearing. Or, do manufacturers use a small assortment of sizes for pilots? Would I ba able to find a good quality bearing at VW or Volvo or elsewhere? I noticed that the clutch allignment tool has only a few bearing adaptors (inside diameters of course).

Anyhow, should I locate the proper size bearing (12x32x10) for use as a pilot bearing, or should I wait for the one supplied by BMA? Of course, I'd rather not wait as I have the time now to do the install (and the weater is frindly enough for a test drive)

Thanks again,
