5.9 one-way bearing in a 4.6

[ravaging_savage]

well i did it. the idiots at a store on ebay sent me the wront part. Funny thing is they look to be identical the only visual difference is that the bearing has grooves kinda of what some people do to the crank. Since it was so close and i don't want to deal with them and fight to get a new item I decide that i would make it fit. the bearing is slightly to big. to fit in the backing plate, and I mean slightly its in way visual. so I did a little grinding and polish on the outer circumfrence of the bearing. It took less then 10 min until it fit just like the original bearing. I got some pics of the bearing I will post them later. It will be maybe a week before I get the truck running. I will keep you guys posted

hope it works, oneways are so expensive. I have a box of them, my picco outlaw ate them for breakfest

Sounds like a good job, but I hope you made a really thorough job of cleaning out the bearing when you finished, otherwise all you efforts won't last very long !

Yeah i hate buying one ways......

I don't see why they are so expensive, my sts ate them up also, think I went through 5-6 the entire time I had it, and that was 6gallons...
