So you are running a slip between your case and the pillow block?

yes




for no reason other than easy removal because the CV bolts are so annoying to get to right?

no, CV bolts are easy to get to

My Tcase is on poly mounts so it "could" move and i wanted a bit of slip

i dont want the Pillow block bearing or the Tcase to absorb the movement

It is an awesome photo!  The environmentalist would have a field day with it though (and any other wheelin' photo)...

Found out why the air compressor locked up.   One of the connecting rod bearing bolts fell out.

No other damage found.    Ordered a new gasket kit.
