Like I said before. I ran I believe 3 or 4 4 cylinder T5's in mine, and never changed the pilot bearing. I never had any kind of vibration issues.ratrapp said:there is no length difference,just the input shaft diameter.if you don't change to the correct pilot bearing it can cause vibrations after you get past 40 or 50 mph.i ran my 4cyl t-5 for almost 2 years and never destroyed it.i even an it at the d/s a few times.i finally replaced it with a t-5z but i wouldn't hesitate to use another 4 banger model.
The 4 cylinder input shaft is infact .230 thousands longer, I have not had a problem with this but maybe someone else hasratrapp said:there is no length difference,just the input shaft diameter.if you don't change to the correct pilot bearing it can cause vibrations after you get past 40 or 50 mph.i ran my 4cyl t-5 for almost 2 years and never destroyed it.i even an it at the d/s a few times.i finally replaced it with a t-5z but i wouldn't hesitate to use another 4 banger model.
If ONEBADPNY has followed his thread, he realizes that the pilot bearing is 2mm(.078 thou) smaller, in terms of clearence this is a MILEMustang5L5 said:Shaft size diameter
5.0 = 0.668
2.3 = 0.59
That means the 4-banger input shaft is 0.078" smaller.
Not much, so you can get lucky if you don't change it...but i would since there is a bearing available to use.
