Need some help identifying my pilot bearing condition. Long story short I found a broken skirt on the #5 piston, so I pulled the motor yesterday and plan to rebuild it. Figure while I'm at it I will replace bearings, seals, and clutch as I can since it's open.
My question is regarding the pilot bearing itself. I found the bearings online and they seem to be a needle/roller type bearing. When I look at my crankshaft ID I don't see any open rollers like what I see in pics online, is the bearing trashed and gone? Or is it a different bearing, or maybe even a bushing instead? Photos attached for reference.
Btw if it's not listed I have an '02 sport with a 4.0 and manual trans.
