i don't know if it's possible to buy just two BE shells, on up and one bottom, if it's possible i'll will change this one

BE ARP bolt are reusable? i could remove the shell and take picture

I hesitate to replace it but it needs to buy a new complete shells kit

Green-Eggs have you some advice?
Is this an actual picture, or a simulated picture? It's confusing because earlier, I thought I read that there isn't an actual picture before it was installed.

I would never take a file to a rod bearing. That could cause all kinds of problems.

Regardless, if you can feel it with your finger, then I wouldn't install it. That's the BE criteria for rejecting shells as well. Some shells get past inspection and not noticed. BE will replace it at their expense. All they need are the numbers written on the trays to send matching shells of the same thickness.
