Hi Ian,
The dowels only locate the bearing to the flange, not the bearing/flange assembly to the engine case - bolts locate the bearing/flange assy. to the case. Dowels shouldn't need to be removed unless you'd like to check how clean the hole is under them. Cheers,
Charlie

| Hey all...need a little advice. On the front main bearing....there is a dowel that extends downward into the case. The bearing I received has the dowel tight in the upper oil hole of the bearing. I need to drive that out and install it facing downwards and extending into the case...right? Same with the main rear bearing? What was the purpose of these dowels? Thanks...Ian p.s. when installing the two bearings into the case would it serve any advantage to use a little anti seize between the surfaces? |
