I have 80W-90 grade oil (API GL-4) and have soaked the bearing before I put it in. I will measure the distance again :thumbup: the original one was flush with crank mine is out about 1mm. When filling the gearbox is it ok the flip it upside down to refill? is oil going to pour out any where?

I guess the fill plug is on top of the gearbox? opps the bearing it should be 6.4mm out?

Can you see the bearing when the clutch and box are on? I have a small inspection camera.
Going to sort out tail shaft once engine is in so get measurements right :thumbup:
