I have a few hundred pictures of EVERY step from removing the first screw, to dropping the trans/engine, replacing all parts, and soon the reinstall.
Who knows, might post all the steps/procedures, if there is interest.

TNT, while the motor is easily accessible, make sure to check all of the vacuum hoses and secondary air injection valve. And yeah, please continue to post pics.

Agree with this comment. The new bearing is more robust but still not immune from failure. It has about the same failure rate as the original dual row bearing in the early 3.4 engines. Tony Callas at Rennsport also makes this recommendation.

I also appriciate a good set of rubber gloves whilst working too, nice one.
