The IMSB inspection is the next step.

Just by looking at the IMSB flange, does anybody know if this is going to be a Double Row or a Single Row bearing? Does it matter?

My thoughts were to lock it at TDC, lock the cams, take tension off the chains, and then remove the bolt and cover to check for any play on the bolt/shaft. If it wobbles, it will be replaced...and was planning on leaving it alone if it's not broken. 67K miles.

Just to check it, you have done 99% of the work required to replace it, so why not just pull it and put in an LN replacement and be done with it?

And while you are at it, what size is the nut on that center bolt?
