Pilot bearing
I just installed the pilot bearing in my engine and I want to make sure I didn’t mess anything up. I used marvel mystery oil and then tapped it in with a light hammer. Does it hurt the thrust or anything when you do it like that? I used a socket the size of the bushing and hit it about six times

its a good idea to freeze the pilot bearing before tapping it in....also you should trial fit it on your tranny input shaft in case its tight

Not missing by much but had to "clean" the inside of the bearing with a fine stone on the dremel to have it slip on. Went through several bearings, different manufactures, one an old, NOS USA brand, same deal. Original one slipped right off.
