I would be interested to see the bearing that you intend fitting.

The danger of fitting a ball race in this position is that it then becomes the crankshaft endplay locator rather than the timing side bearing. How are you proposing to get round this potential problem?

Very good point Roland, missed that one.
This is what forums are all about.
There must be a shielded roller bearing out there, if the correct oil seal is not available.
