Ha. I came to the same conclusion on mine.Yup were gonna run it till it doesn’t work, then I’ll learn how to rebuild a transmission
AA datasheet shows both the 716317 open bearing (one i have) and the 716310 sealed bearing (diagram) being used.

Thoughts from guys that did this? @cruisermatt @Dubs2017 @dbbowen @TRAIL TAILOR @tmxmotorsports
Oh so true about AAif you packed it with grease i feel like it would just spin out. Sealed would be the move. I see you have found yourself in the twilight zone of Advance adapters well thought out and suuuper helpful accurate instructions.
Bro I called AA twice, and both "experts" were confused and ended it with "dry should be fine".....if you packed it with grease i feel like it would just spin out. Sealed would be the move.

weird! i used the same adapter kit as you but mine came with a sealed one. Mine was an old off the shelf one though. had to do what i could to get one during covid while they were sold outMine was the unsealed, as that was what came in my kit. Buuuuut now that I have it broken down I might switch it out, as I'll take @TRAIL TAILOR 's insights to the bank.

anyway Im going to call them and see if they will swap or sell me the sealed, if not I’ll find an equivalent koyo or timken
Sounds good I’ll take a look today!While youre bearing shopping, go ahead and pull the bearing from your AC tensioner and replace it with with a Timken. Idc if its a brand new AC delco. The bearing in it will last about 3 months before it squeaks. The Nachi one squeaks after about a year. So far so good on the timken. Nothing worse than finishing your LS swap and your ac tensioner squacks at you.
Im not sure if your motor shares the same ac tensioner as the Gen3, but if it does I can just mail you one for the free. I stocked up lol. The one on the gen 3 has a bearing code 6001-2RS.
Yup, my spidey senses were tingling and it didn’t feel rightOpen bearings like that need lubrication. Running dry will cause it to wear out. Run the sealed version or you'll have it apart again in the future to fix it.
Call me I'll get you a sealed one.
I did not know a tracker app was available. I have been using excel and cross eyed nowLast pic of the installed bushing View attachment 3086852
Remember kids, when 3d printing, perimeter thickness trumps fill % every time.
Ran to the emissions shop, dude would even test it (don’t blame him). Engine is a bit smoky and smells. I think a V8 swap is sooner that I think
Lastly, I have been using a tracker app for tracking my progress. Trello breaking up all the stuff into sections. Seems to work well
