EA82 manual & auto spigot/pilot bearings ???

I have a reco engine (was auto) to go in my L Series (manual) and I had a quick look and the spigot bearing which came with the clutch is not going to fit in the back of the auto crankshaft.

Does anyone know if auto and manual cranks are different or whether there is a bush I have to remove first before installing the new spigot bearing?

the spigot bearing goes in the flywheel on a manual the auto uses a flexplate which has no need of a spigot bearing

Excellent, thanks!

I have not yet removed the manual engine from the car, I just wanted to check first

And just in case you doubt a poster like TOONGA, he is correct in my books too
