Mag case intermediate bearings questions
I am working through shopping list of parts for rebuild of early mag case (914-6 specifically). Seems like I have read that early cases did not have layshaft ( intermediate shaft) bearings but rather shaft was just directly in the mag case.
Am I misunderstanding that?If I not, when was it changed to have bearings. Fortunately I am not the actual builder but trying to understand what I have. Thanks

That ended with the sand cast cases in 68’
Install fresh bearings because the top of the bearing will show brass from tensioners pulling up. Bruce Last edited by Flat6pac; 09-24-2023 at 01:50 PM.. |

The first mag cases ('68-'69) didn't have the intermediate shaft bearings yet either. A 914/6 should be a '70 MY at least, so I'd think it should have the IS bearings.
