avgwarhawk Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Some type of tool for crank bearing installation is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Garner Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 too big for cam bearings, I'm pretty sure its for crank bearings but I get the impression it's for a specific make and year range. can't really find any info about it on google.

joe_padavano Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 It appears to be a cutter for facing off a thrust bearing. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 What engines it could be used on depends on several of the diameters. This would have been used to cut the center thrust when using the thicker babbitt shell type or direct poured crankshaft bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HartmannRD Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hi Perry would you have any interest in possibly parting with the T-137 kit? I have a complete J-1000 line bore setup it would be used together with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
