Does the pilot bearing install flush with back of the crank, or does it go in further? machine pulled the old one out so i did not get a look at it? Second question, what are the matchmarks the FSM states to line up the clutch and f/w? any help would be appreciated, trying to stick my newly rebuilt engine today. thx.

Flush is good. That's how I've always done it. The crank may be machined internally with a step to prevent it going in to far, but I don't know. Check it with a flashlight.

It should be just beyond flush. You'll see a beveled lip machined into the crank.
