<VV> New stuff for Rebuild III

[Stephen Upham]

Received my new cam with fail safe gear, blower bearing and cartridge  
assembly, and NOS top ventilator cover.  Haven't opened the NOS part  
yet, although I've taken pictures of it for posterity (may frame the  
package - nuts? maybe).
1st : I'm a little concerned with the blower bearing assembly.   
Because the vendor no longer supplies the .001 oversized shaft, they  
are suggest ( and include in the package) Loctite #271 to be used to  
coat the shaft and the inside of the hole.  It also states in the  
instructions, "If bearing should ever work loose, the hole in the  
housing is too worn and the housing will need to be replaced."  Geez,  
if it comes loose, its not because it is to narrow at the bearing,  
the problem is your #$%@ used top cover; and " You will be able to  
press this bearing out in the future if you need to replace it  
again." so forget road side repairs!  Anyone have experience with  
these replacement bearing assemblies.

2nd :   should I clean the new cam and gear (and how) before  
installation?
