[C320-list] Engine alignment

[Larry Frank]

I have a PSS shaft seal too and can move the shaft easily.  It's been a long
time since I had a stuffing box so I cannot comment on whether the shaft can
be moved easily or not.  However, I would suspect that a properly installed
and maintained stuffing box would naturally try to keep the shaft centered
in the log.  

Maybe others that have a traditional stuffing box can add something here.

Yup - I'm assuming that the cutlass bearing and the stuffing box are fixed
in position so there is no way to change the shaft alignment.  Is that
correct?

Chuck,

 

I don't understand what you mean by two bearings.  Are you talking about the

stuffing box?
