BPR7 flywheel too big for OEM pilot bearing - wtf?
So I'm finally getting to put in the 6spd into my Eliminator. Ran into a problem. I installed a OEM BPR7 flywheel and went to insert the pilot bearing that came with the throwout bearing kit. Negative - bearing much to small. Ordered another OEM bearing this time and still to small. The oem bearing is 1.37x" OD... the flywheel is 1.44x" ID... anyone know wtf is going on?? My twin disc is 1.37x" and would fit the oem bearing just fine (but that saved for future track carnage car)....

I'm sure I can - I'm gonna take the flywheel tomorrow (with the new bearing) to a place that specializes in bearings - I'm sure they can find something that'll work. I just find it crazy weird. Only thing i can think of is that the previous owner milled out the ID of the wheel for a different bearing for whatever reason
