Hi
Back again !!
How tight a fit should the inner race of the roller brg, drive side, be on the crank pin. I remember from years back when I worked on a Flash , the fit was quite tight & I had to press the race out.
However, on the current restoration, the fit is more of a sliding fit with a little tapping to start the process. Will this suffice or can anyone suggest a remedy as it is impossible to replace the crank here in India. Will a coating of Loctite ( 243 ) solve the problem.
Another query is that sometime in the dim distant past some mechanic had forgotten to replace the washer between the timing pinion on the crank & the worm drive for the oil pump. Can anyone please give me the dimensions so that I can make one. Iam assuming that if I dont get the thickness right, the oil pump gears wont mesh correctly?
Thanks & ride carefully
