Default Damn you pilot bearing!

So after a RR and valve spring install my car was down for over a month with a miss. My idiotic *** left a plug wire loose that I didn't find untill I checked everything else. So after having it running for 2 days the damn thing left me stranded after it went BOOM!




******* pilot bearing! Bushing now installed, smooth as butter! Wish I could have afforded the blowproof. It is definitely next on my list.

Possibly, Valeo(pretty sure that is stock GM) with a Delco pilot bearing. 50k miles on it.

No damage done. The clutch was still contained under the pressure plate when I pulled it apart.

Sheeet, that's amateur stuff. Gorilla Glue for life.
