It's been so long and I can remember where the damn bearing is supposed to be... I want to check to see if it is there before i button up things. Also is there an oil pan with a built in windage tray, or Should I use the stock one? If stock will work will installing be the same on spayed mains?

 

If you look there is a plug up top that covers the top side, the hile is under the rear cap. It should be in there not too far down.

When I get a block back from the Machine shop I allways drop a skinny long screwdriver in the hole to make sure the ball was there.

 

the balll bearing in the oil galley? you need to remove the last main cap and its in the whole that doesnt have a bolt or drive shaft in it. off top of my head

 

is there any way to see it from the top? I've got a long ex tenable led flash light (like the extend able magnets you see..)

 

Yes remove that plug by the oil pressure sending unit and look down the hole , it should be about six inches down or so.

 

sweet thanks!!!

 

The Canton pan has a built in windage and crank scraper. Good pan, but can leak around the drain plug sometimes on older pans.
