Hi, I've run into another problem. Does anyone know if a d16a1 has a pilot bearing (flywheel bearing?), maybe the zc is the same? I picked one up from carquest and it is definitelly not the right one. The chiltons manual points to one in a picture but it is very vague. But I went back to check and it was the part number they had in the book. Any expirience you might have with this would greately be appreciated.

Thanks,

Conor M.

what kind of noise does a car with a fucked pilot bearing make?

When I took off the clutch from my brown top ZC1...surprise surprise..no pilot bearing .
It always ran good like that...I took of the flywheel and the block is made not to have a pilot bearing.
I put in a bigger flywheel with the pilot bearing and the pilot bearing got pressed out to the other side...taking out a piece of the middle of the flywheel.

SpankedYA!

The pilot bearing is housed in the Flywheel not in the crank.

I know. but there is a groove on the crank that makes room for the pilotbearing part that sticks out to fit.
My ZC1 flywheel doesn't use a pilot bearing...I'll take pic's when I get home. The hole in the middle is the same diameter as the pilot bearing hole.

My little brother had an 89 Integra with D16A1. We put a clutch kit in it, and it had no pilot bearing. The flywheel wasnt machined to accept one either
