Intermediate Shaft

[falzsf at mts.net (Shawn Falzarano)]

Thanks again for the info Dan. Yeah I do have a press but a large one no way 
of getting it to that tanny side one. Also making sure that hole is lined up 
with the oil hole in the block could be interesting. However maybe i could 
make a large extension to fit on the bearing any who we will see.

Oh yah my hand are clean since i belive the intermediate shaft bearing are 
the first step, so i havnt begun yet :(. The first time i assembled the 
engine I had the crank and rods/pistons installed than when i went to put 
the intermediate shaft in, yikes lots of play. I found out when i got the 
machine shop to bore my block the also hot tanked it and I never noticed 
that the bearing fell out oh well. Live and learn.

PS> Back to work on my roc, sandblasted all the engine compartment (just the 
rust) now going to give it a coat of black paint.....
