Hey there guys

First of all please excuse me if I have posted in the wrong forum

I have pretty much just completed a manual conversion in my ef xr6. The spigot bearing that i have put in is a normal ball roller bearing not a needle roller bearing is this a big issue or does it not matter? I have been told a few conflicting stories and just wanting to clear it up before i finally chuck the box on.

Cheers

as long as its the right size to fit in the crank and fits nicely over the spigot shaft it will be fine..

Yeah thats what I put in on my AU, looks like they don't use the other type anymore?

When i did it on the old EB I asked for a spigot bearing and was given a generic bearing that suited the shaft etc. it will be right as long as it fitted snug in the flywheel and the output / input (whatever) shaft fitted should be sweet.

the roller bearing type is a genuine item.. can still be brought from ford, and the sealed bearing is an aftermarket equivilant...
