Oversize CS Main Bearings
« on: June 27, 2017, 10:24:36 AM »
Hi All

Whilst writing a reply a few moments ago, ref one off oil seals I got thinking, the speed at which I type leaves a lot of time for thinking, and all sorts of other things.......

I have a pair of taper roller bearings sent from India, in error. They fit the bearing carriers (well the ones I was sent anyway) but are made for a 2 1/4" shaft.

If there's anyone out there with a well worn crankshaft who would like to try getting a pair of 'adaptor' sleeves turned up to suit, and fit them, using Loctite 620 or similar or heating them up to shrink on to the shaft, then they're welcome to them for the cost of postage from France.

Further details on request, as the posh ads say

Cheers Stef
