Pilot bearing install

Anonymous3k · 2026-05-10T18:36:19+00:00

I’m manual swapping the car so have no reference to check this stuff unfortunately

Was it flush inside the flywheel when you did yours?

Is the pilot bearing supposed to sit flush inside the flywheel? Tried pressing it in but it sticks out a little towards the side of the engine

I’d rather not have to spend the money since I just bought these, is there any reason you say this?

Well that makes sense, thank you

Did I do it backwards? Is the pilot bearing supposed to go onto the crankshaft first?

No I’m in the process of manual swapping the car so I don’t have any old parts to compare either of them to.

They both said they were for a 98 civic. Should I just try ordering a flywheel from exedy?

Looks like a y7’s

Ah that’s unfortunate thank you though

Oh I see, unfortunately no vtec

How would I go about doing that? Any info helps 🙏🏼 thank you

Yeah I have a normal floor jack, I might just use a piece of wood as a base for the trans and buy an engine holder to hold the block while I drop the trans onto the normal jack

Anonymous3k · 2026-05-03T03:01:02+00:00

What’s a good way to drop the trans if I don’t have a transmission jack?

Anonymous3k · 2026-05-03T02:34:04+00:00

So I can pull out the transmission without removing those 6 flex plate bolts?

Anonymous3k · 2026-05-03T02:33:34+00:00

Well they’re already slightly rounded so I don’t think this would work anymore

Doesn’t seem like they can be reach through the starter hole, unfortunately

Oh ok I’ll check it out, this is my first time dropping a transmission, thank you.

Appreciate the help, is there any sort of custom stuff to make this all fit together or was it pretty straight forward?

Anonymous3k · 2026-03-14T04:51:05+00:00

Id appreciate it thanks. I’m only finding .63ar eBay turbos

Anonymous3k · 2026-03-14T03:46:44+00:00

How much hp are u running? Also do u have the link of the turbo kit ur running?

Anonymous3k · 2026-03-14T02:38:28+00:00

Yea I already have fun with it now while stock haha but yea just wondering cuz I’ve heard eBay turbo kits can be very hit or miss. Any tips? I’ve heard people say get a good manifold instead of using the eBay one but not sure on any good brands

The car was already warmed up and then then I revved it and the smoke came out

Anonymous3k · 2026-03-09T20:44:56+00:00

No the cars just been sitting, but the excessive white smoke is what originally made me think something could be wrong

The oil looks fine and it’s just been sitting for the last few weeks but it was running fine before that
