Re: Timing side crankshaft oil seal

It is meant to be a tight fit , I drifted it on with a piece of metal tube if it's loose it will ware the woodroof key as this only locates the pinion if it's loose put some loctite on the shaft it came off so it should go back on with a couple of taps .

Re: Main and big-end bearings

Yea prob they were ground to bearing size stated on box and they took that amount off the crank and never tried fitting them you are right in what you say I then had the fine tune myself as I didn't think much of the place I took the crank to they were car not bike engineers you live and learn.

Re: Main and big-end bearings

Found box that replacement big end shells came in, from nlm they were made by king bearings 0-20 metric size and had the crank ground to suit but still had issues as already mentioned. Hope this is of some help.
