Hello all,
I am just getting the final details worked out before bringing my M20 block to the machine shop on Friday. I have been informed by a few people to look into AUX shaft bearings and its relation to destroying the bearing when being hot tanked.
So far I seem to get a few results. So here is where I am at.
My motor has low original KM's, and the bearings look/feel fantastic. I intend to gauge it this week before dropping it off, but so far if I had to assemble this motor tomorrow, I would not be worried about those two bearings failing.
A few people have mentioned to just leave the aux shaft in, and that may keep the bearings safe as long as its not dipped for an extended period of time.
Ideally this would be my chosen route. Can any of you fine folks speak from personal experience?
If it has worked for others in their rebuild, can anyone advise me on tips to give my machine shop so they lower the chances of making the mistake?
Thank you for your time!
