Yikes - mine doesn't look that bad, but likely does need replacement ... will get more pro opinion when I deliver it all to the machine shop. The bearings themselves were very evenly worn, with only the very ends being a bit thinner than the middles - looks to be about half the normal thickness.

I did measure the journal - old micrometer, but looked to be about 30 thou over already - again, will get expert opinion from machine shop I use.

Oh, yeah - forgot to ask - should I pull trans with the engine? Manual trans felt OK - will still be able to examine the clutch - looks easier to leave trans in ... recommendation?

Thanks - am lookin forward to the rebuild!
