Question About Pilot Bearing
Question About Pilot Bearing hello everyone
well im in the process of swaping the A4 for the M6 in my 98 formula and I got stuck in THE PILOT BEARING, is there already a pilot bearing in my crank?
if there is do I need to replace it with a new one?
how can I tell if there is a pilot bearing, I dont see anything that resenbles a bearing.....
another thing, I went to oreiley and asked for a pilot bearing and they gave me a pilot bushing, its just a piece of metal that resembles a ring with no bearings whatsoever, so is this a part that I need as well?
I thank you for all the help in advance

if it is an auto there is NO pilot bering in it. they arent that expensive from your local GM dealer. the bearing is a little quieter when you are sitting at lights. i like the bearing. my '79 had a bushing that was 25 years old and 70k on the ticker and still looked fine when i changed the clutch.
edit here is a pic
edit 2 so you know this is the side that will go towards the front of the car. the other side will be beveled (sp?)
