OK. I got the serial number off the engine. It's M96/24AT67465645. So my (last?) questions are: there is really no way to know by the serial number if that is a single row bearing or not, correct? Or were all M96 engines single or double row, and all M97 engines non-removable (without splitting the cases) IMSB? I just hate to have the tranny, clutch and flywheel removed to know (I don't need a clutch). Or is that the only way to be sure? As I mentioned the engine was replaced in October of 2006. Thanks all for your help and patience
