How many would be interested in sort of a step by step tutorial on how I measure and set up a Torrington needle roller thrust bearing to fit behind an aluminum timing cover? This is a neat setup if you are running a cam driven water pump and a roller camshaft as there is no thrust load applied to the water pump by the cam. The other advantage is that you could change pumps, or in this case I don't even have the pump here while I am building the engine. Customer will just need to check to make sure it doesn't bottom out before bolting it to the cover.
I am waiting on a couple of washers to arrive, I didn't have the two that I thought were here with the bearings, and I want to set it up with the parts that will be running with it to make sure I don't end up with too much or too little thrust.
