[DeTomaso] pilot bearing

[Thomas Tornblom]

Roland Jäckel told me:

SKF 63003-2RSI
ballbearing works like a charme. Since 25 years, i use nothing else.
No fails on any car, we did.

I had no idea that a 40 year old Ford crank would take a metric bearing, 
but it appears it does.

Needle bearings are great in tight spaces, ball bearings are probably 
better when space allows for it.
