<VV> Pilot bearings

[BobHelt at aol.com]

Hi Bob,
Maybe it is the early morning hour, or the binge last nite, but I don't see 
 how a caved-in bell housing should limit the life of a pilot bearing. Can 
you  please explain this further. Thanks.
Regards,
Bob Helt

This  weekend I was checking out my extra bell housings. I don't know if 
this has  been discussed in the passed years. But, 25 years ago my daughter's 
66 Corsa  was going threw pilot bearings every 6000 miles. I found the 
problem was the  bell housing. Out of the 16 that I checked yesterday, 2 were 
caved in about  .030 to .042. 6 were at around .008 and the rest were .001 to 
.004. I never  put a bell housing in without decking the engine side. Maybe 
this can help  someone. Bob Dunahugh.
