Eric,
I have no idea what the pieces you are finding might be, but I am
concerned that you had problems with installing the pilot bearing. There is
only
one size and it fits all Rootes overhead valve engines. I do not count the
very late needle bearing pilot bearings because of the damage they do to the
transmission input shaft when they fail, so I never use them.
There is one exception: if your engine was previously mated to a Model
35 BW Automatic transmission, there is a very thin steel 'bushing' in the
rear of the crankshaft that must be removed before a bronze/brass pilot bearing
for a manual transmission can be installed.
