Outside hole is good. Brake clean and compressed air both blow through after I exposed the hole.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. There really wasn’t much crud, somehow the hole was completely covered by metal. Looked almost like it was welded over.

When I looked at the pic my reaction was that it looked like welding slag plugged the hole. Were the cases welded at some point? |

Strange place to land but really good find. Sure beats gear/shaft metal.

In the pic above, the trough Mike mentioned is at 10:00 to the main shaft bearing race. Make sure also that there are no holes in the trough to let oil out before it runs down to the m.s. bearing. I had this issue and it ruined my mainshaft and bearings+race.
