just asking aloud what is the engineering code that a main bearing should fit onto a crank? someone said to me K7 but i'm not really sure?

maybe you guys can get a better journal up than this one:

http://idmru.aston.ac.uk/IDMru.nsf/2eb7 ... %20Drg.PDF

but at least it shows a basic guide to the engineering problems. if you look at the third page it indicates that gears have to be a greater interference fit than bearings yet the bearing has to go past the gears position to get to the shoulder of the crank?

what an engineering dilemma!

Hi Taffy,

I suppose it depends on what type of bearing you are using Standard to C4, I rebuilt mine with C4 ball bearings and when the cases came together they were I would say just over an interference fit, no thwacking with mallets or anything just small taps to get every thing lined up, then when bolted up one sharp tap with a hide mallet on the ignition side of the crank just to centralise the bearing spun as free a bird. An still going strong over 2000 miles later.
Do the pre04 crank journals measure a tighter fit than the later type?.

Sparks.

they're all tight steve. they have had problems post '03 as well as before.

i did find a better site but hope we'll discuss this here.
