i was pulling my motor apart to rebuild it with a bridgeport and every bearing under my front cover was desenigrated and my front stat gears bearing is all fubared now as well. and also it was a pain in the *** to get the rotor to come off the eshaft

 

needle bearings? if it was those you probably pinched those.

 

the needle bearings got pinched during assembly,check the oil pan for small pieces of the bearings,check the oil pump for any kind of damage and all the bearings on the motor,if i was you i will flush my oil cooler 2 just to be safe

 

yeah the needle bearings (i couldnt remember there name) they dont exist anymore.

the entire motor was a extra pain in the *** to get apart this time nothing just slid apart like its supose to
