I forgot to mention that after torquing the intake and jackshaft bracket down, that it did little to help with the alignment of the middle bearing!

Measurements show that the centering top to bottom is about .035" or so off, closer to the top than the bottom, and also from side to side. Outside is closer to shaft than is the inside of the bearing bore. Also around .035"ish.

It is enough in those two planes that I don't even want to try to make a middle bearing work at this time.....would certainly be interesting to hear what the factory did to make these fit properly!!!!

Stopped by the AP store at lunch, grabbed my oil, some more 5/16" steel fuel line, and also picked up a couple of candidates for one of the lower coolant hoses......

Off to Fastenal later for some bolts and such!

Ciao!
Steve
