1HD-FT - Injection Pump Bearing Loose Outer Race (1 Viewer)

[dbmaxpayne]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently putting back together my timing gears.
Upon checking how the new injection pump bearing will fit the aluminium housing I noticed that it falls straight into the bore and that the outer race can be spun by hand.

Is this by design and somehow tightens when getting hot or should I use some Loctite 620 here?
However, I'm concerned not being able to remove it again when I ever need to open the timing case again.
I once used the stuff on a bearing's outer race and when I had to remove it again I had to hammer the sh*t out of it despite I heated it up a lot.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Mark

Offtopic: What are the slits for?

I ended up gluing it in.
Hopefully I won't have to figure out that a torch is not gonna cut any time soon

I'd still appreciate your input on this matter, though.

Cheers,
Mark
