Hi All
Stuck in the lock down doldrums so decided to start rebuilding an engine to give me something to do.
Any tips on fitting the bearing???
Tap it in? Flush? Heat the cases?
Cheers in Looney Land

heat cases an drive it in with a socket that only touches the outer race/ring . it dont sit totally flush all the way round ,holes square but face of cases slopes ,so side of bearing away from crank sits proud a tiny bit.H

Thanks Jonny
I normally heat my cases with an electric paint stripping gun and the crank bearings will drop in if you heat for long enough.
