I wouldn't run it. It will put shavings in there. All this work you want it to turn out really good and last not have metal in there. It's worth the expense.

The b58 is getting me around town, so far seems good. No noises or anything, it's smooth. I think maybe I did okay. I haven't done any pulls yet but it sounds fine up to redline. I don't know how long it will take to stop being nervous.

I put the front tension struts on completely upside down, and then I had to take the whole front suspension apart and the axles out to put them on the right way. And then I tore the one axle boot trying to force the arm ball joint down in there. It fired up two weeks ago and I'm finally driving it because I didn't take a picture of the suspension. Usually everything only goes on one way...
