Last week my new throwout bearing arrived. This was just the bearing, hub not included. I try to purchase top quality part, Timken, made in USA #1625. The outer steel shell had a large burr at the lip where it is rolled on to the front race. Tried to turn the bearing with my hands and at first it rotated with a gritty feeling then became impossible to rotate any further. Today I received a new oil pan gasket "Best" brand #24026E with not a single bolt hole punched out. WTH? Sorry fellas, I just needed to let off some steam.................

The oil pan gasket has arrived. Plans are to first just lay it on a pan and check the overall dimensions. Once that is performed, then install the gasket on the 312 dyno mule and run the engine during the Christmas holidays.
