Hi Russell


On occasion I've had to clean up case threads and where I've welded and remachined the housing I recut new threads, but in 95% of the time I can adjust the crest and get a perfect tight fit.

Since the angles were all 60 deg and the original crest was a radius. If you keep the thread crest profile without a radius you have adjustment

Are you suggesting that the factory made custom threaded mainshaft bearings for every DeLuxe and KJ engine?

I have a question about the 1-7/8 - 14 thread on your new bearings. Since I have been installing new oil pans on Hendersons I have found my finished tap sizes to be between 1.845" to 1.870". This was due to poor housing setups in earlier life times. How do you address this? Someone with housing sizes .030" plus over would need custom threading.

I now have in stock new spline shaft bearings
Left and right side
Includes felt packing, modern seal and the packing nut

ID .975 requires boring to fit your spline shaft.

Thanks
