| I have a '98 spec s.e. with the 848 metal head. The spindle does not have a rubber damper sleeve on it, and is getting scored up in the center from contact with the head block. The head was factory assembled this way, and there is no mention of the rubber sleeve in the instructions. I bought a new spindle and it came with the sleeve, but it won't fit into the headblock with the sleeve installed on the spindle. Has the head block been changed? The metal to metal contact from the spindle/block contact cant be good, but I have never recorded more than one glitch on my BC-6, and that has only happened a few times.
Next question. I installed the al. tail gear box when it came out and have had no problems with it until recently. I was getting some slop in the tail gears and the al. spacer between the gear and bearing looks to be compressed. I can't find this part #861-4 anywhere. Has this part been changed, and what is the new part #?
Thanks for the help
