I used the cover I have from the old ln retrofit which is the same width and bore.

I got a replacement m96/04 engine 00-01 3.4 5 chain without much history I checked it for boar score and it looks beautiful supposedly had 90k but it's super clean inside I replaced the 4-5 timing chains and Vario cam pads and main timing chains guide rails and buttoned the engine back up and now I'm doing the IMS and it's got a Single row bearing but I think a dual row cover and there's no spacers in there am I missing something or did someone hodge podge this?
Leading evidence: 'Use cover i have' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean inside i' (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.

Interesting 🤔 Did you need a spacer to the cover or use a specific cover?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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 got a replacement m96/04 engine 00-01 3.4 5 chain without much history I checked it for boar score and it looks beautiful supposedly had 90k but it's super clean inside I replaced the 4-5 timing chains and Vario cam pads and main timing chains guide rails and buttoned the engine back up and now I'm doing the IMS and it's got a Single row bearing but I think a dual row cover and there's no spacers in there am I missing something or did someone hodge podge this? I'll add pictures the bearing feels fine but the only thing holding it is the snap ring the stud is a mildly tight fit but the bearing can slip over the shaft all the way back to the cover
Was the bearing pressed to the back of the ims or was it flush with the circlip? Looks like an LN single row. The shaft still rode on the bearing, was just able to move forward.
Guess it is the pelican kit that now is branded rennline. They just didn't install it correctly.

After some research it looks like the Pelican part without the spacers installed. But according to my engine number It should have been a single row bearing from factory but they swapped the dual row cover? Seems weird
Yes as PT said the depth is 14 mm vs 20mm to the groove.
I have an 01 and it was a dual row. Engine number 06920
Also this is the bearing I use.

This bearing is the same dimension as the LN double row retrofit. 20.6MM wide. That is the depth to the groove. Used a
Spiroloc snap ring. I have replaced it twice with this bearing.
I used the cover I have from the old ln retrofit which is the same width and bore. You could use a stock cover with a spacer. Original bearing was 23.82mm wide versus the 20.6mm.
With all the contention over these bearings over the years it�s interesting to see a change in the recommendation. New bearing still has one side with a dust cover and one without?
