RMATV made it right.
Package arrived the other day with two, minty fresh, factory sealed parts. New bearing and water pump seal. Now that's the way to do business.

Dan, did you check the packing material carefully for anthrax or other biological hazards? I just know this whole episode can't go this smoothly.

Is that what you want T&C?? I keep forgetting to rub the brand spanking, almost new, shrouds I picked up, in your nose too.

Right side engine case is in the oven right now warming to 200 degrees. Bearings are in the freezer. In about ten minutes they will be dropping in.

It's been more than 10 minutes. He either burned his hand on the stove or got frost bite handleing the new bearings.

I think it is possible to do either if you don't wear gloves while doing this.
Right side bearings went in tonight with a few taps from the bearing driver.

Left side went in last weekend. Crank/main bearing and one of the others dropped in, the other two had to be tapped in with the bearing driver. Note the frosty crank. ( The bearing driver set is a loaner from the local Autozone store, you put down the cost of the tool ,$60 in this case, and then when you return it they refund the money. It's a really nice deal)

Dan, did you do any other repairs, replacements, or upgrade while you were in there? BTW, you do realize that your crank assembly will rust now due to the fridge treatment.
