[V8] oil pump bearing

[bhowell at rmi.net]

I JUST went through this, so I can comment. ETKA list the fan bearing
differently because when you buy the fan bearing, you ALSO get the portion
that the fan clutch screws onto (the reverse threaded dealy). However, if
you buy the oil pump bearing part number, you don't get that. I bought the
oil pump bearing for $68 and was quoted $211 for the fan bearing!!!! $143
for a little piece of metal that has some left-hand thread on it. Needless
to say, I bought two oil pump bearings.

So, I can confirm that the fan bearing and oil pump bearing are identicle
parts. Just swap the left-hand thread piece over to the new bearing and you
are set.

Interesting!  But ETKA shows different part numbers for those 2 parts.

Are they really the same?
