At this point Iam only guessing the possibility of the crank being smaller, and as to why the Trans Snout will not fit into the Bearing.

Iam going to pull the bearing tomorrow soon as I find a bearing Puller. then see if I can measure the crank hole with the FW attached. NO way Iam pulling it off and have to buy another 12 FW bolts.

Looks a little tight getting my micrometer inside the FW to measure, we`ll see how it goes.

Iam not saying it is 34mm, just a guess right now, thinking how difficult it was to get that bearing in, when the other engine it almost fell in, in comparison.

Well it is just a silly little millimeter.
