do you think there might have been some damage to the dizzy gear from the first failure causing the second aux shaft to fail?. i still cant beleive it only lasted 2 hours  .also i was going to ask you did ford specify what engine the new shaft was for? eg..eb/ed/el or ef/au? im just curious if there was a different part number between the dizzy and non dizzy engines? the dizzy was replaced with brand new bosch they say all aux shafts are the same in dizzy engines ie EA, EB, ED, EL my engine is EB and i converted to EL (dizzy engine) |

i think this may be my best option as my engine is bored out and decked and the money saved on boring and honing can be possibly spent on doing this |

yeah it is possible to fit a bearing but I imagine that wont be cheap...

you HAVE to remove it yourself.
Pick a car in the yard, go by K's. remove (use their crane) Purchase *they'll provide you a receipt with the engine number on it* An item that's off the shelf is $500 and maybe cheaper if you give them a c/o.
