Any seal in any application can be compromised...I do, however, admire your enthusiasm...

Default Front Bearing

I am running a TKO ceramic front bearing in my Nova. It has no leaks and runs good, but I can feel a very very small amount of side play in the crankshaft. Is that OK?

Thanks, Kevin

Side to side play on the crank is bad news , should be solid, usually means rear bearing is going bad or just out of tolerance which I have seen brand new out of the package bearings from certain aftermarket manufacturers be
