I have a dual row bearing in this case means I cannot do there retrofit kit. I just went out side and checked it out. There kit only works with the single row bearing. I was able to take the nut off it though and try and wiggle it around. There was no play at all. I take this as a good sign.

I want to add to this whole project...

This would not take this long at all to do if the parts came quick and if I did not have only one day a week to mess around with it. I don't even get the full day, just a few hours here and there. I am getting married this weekend in disney world so it has been crazy. I am going to get this thing back in the car when I get back from disney. All the parts are assembled and ready to go except for putting the flywheel and clutch on and then the tranny. I am dropping off my flywheel at porsche today for the new pilot bearing to be pressed in. If you had all the parts and everything prepped I think you could do this in a long weekend.

Thanks. I can't wait to get down to Florida. I am glad there was no play in the bearing too. Once I get back I can't wait to get this thing in the car. It has been laid up now since November 07. I'll be surprised if everything still works. Top, lights etc....

2 photos of the motor in the car. Not running yet but I am sure as hell happy that I am at this point. I felt like I would never see the motor in the car.

Definitely a VERY good sign that there was no play. Glad you checked it out, it should give you some peace of mind.
