Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Replace case' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace case' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I did not have the original dual row. Had NSX 6204 single row bearing. Ok. Fine
I bought the EPS bearing
I hammered it in there until it stopped like instructions state.
question 1:
should the EPS bearing sit a bit proud? It�s not flush with the shaft opening.
question 2:
the flange initially did not lineup. I had to push down and to the right and finally got it to sit flush against the block.
sound normal to EPS installers?
thanks.
if the flange does not fit flush with the engine case, DO NOT try to pull int down to the case with the bolts. If you do you stand a good chance of cracking the engine case (AMHIK). If you put tension on the case by trying to pull the flange in and it hits the bearing first, it pulls thru the bolt holes and cracks the case. Then you will need to replace your case. I found that out the hard way. If you are tightening it up and hear. hear a metallic CLINK that sound is your case cracking at one of the bolt holes.
whoa! I mean I don�t think it took that much force. It�s slightly off. I was able to get the flange on and flush with the case. But I don�t like it. I�ve removed the bolts and I�m going to remove the flange to see if the IMS shaft stays centered. Chains must be slightly pulling the shaft a bit. So still some tension even without tensioners.
