I'm rebuilding my 98 2.5 that spun a rod bearing on #1. I got another crank and I thought the intermediate shaft was ok, but on closer examination found damage at the plain bearing end face. I'm not sure how that occurred because that face does not run up against anything. Here's a picture.
Has anybody seen this kind of damage before or have an idea of how it could have happened? Do you think this shaft is still usable?
