The bits will have dropped down around the cylinders in the block, im just amazed it was still pumping coolant round It was only due to the noisy bearing it got pulled out

You don't mess around Dan, do you.
Mine wasn't in that many pieces when I chiseled it out of the block.

If it's pumping coolant and the bearing isn't grumbling, why would you change it Rich?
