Dave,

Thanks Trev,

Eastern Bearings aren't far from me (Ferntree Gully) and I'd bed they'd have it.  I took my clutch centre and sliding plate into them and they had a sealed bearnig to suit that I was able to fit straight into the sliding plate without fuss.  I had a 5mm gap between the back of the clutch centre and the inside diamter of the sliding plate hole.

Cheers,

Dave.

I finally have all the parts I need after five missing pieces from a shipment and I have a new camshaft as well.  Now the engineer who is doing my crank is away for the next week and a half!  At least the end is now within reach!  Can't wait to put it back together.

Cheers

Dave.

Hubie don't forget to order your  roller in C3 clearence, your bearing should read NF 206 C3. The C3 is the extra clearence you need because you are holding the outer race of the bearing in your case by interference fit (crushing it) a standard clearence (NF206) will run too tight when fitted, the C3 has extra clearence built into the bearing. *smile*

Well all the bits went off to the engineer today so he should receive them in two days and the crank can finally be done.  Then it's re assembly time.  Looks like it'll get done within the next two to three weeks (finally)  *smile*

Wise words from RF.
Don't rush it. Has the bearing a steel or plastic cage? I just found a piece of plastic in my sump, looks like part of a cage!!!!!
Now all I have to do is heed my own advice !

Tis a steel bearing musky, will need to heat the cases to fit it in.  Also pulled the heads of my RE super meteor last night to investigate low compression.  One cylinder had a stuck second ring and the ring land broke extracting it.  Looks like new pistons and rings and a +20 rebore for that bike!!

Ok.   My crank is ready to be picked up so I've been going over the manual so I don't stuff anything up when I reassemble the motor.  I noticed in the manual that there is a shim between the drive side crank journal and main bearing but there was not one there when I pulled the motor apart.  I do have four shims which were behind the drive side sprocket which I assume was there to eliminate end float.  Anyone have thoughts on this?

Cheers,

Dave.

G'day Mate,
                    thats how you adjust the end float of the crank. Before you put the rods on assemble the crank & cases. Set up a dial gauge on the crank and measure the end float, ( push or tap crank to one side then the other side to get measurement) subtract 2 thou" and thats how much shim you need behind the bearing on the crank. Careful taking the inner bearing back off to do so. I use a wrap around bearing puller set up ready then pour boiling water over bearing to get it off. Other methods on the forum. Try searching end float.
Cheers

Thanks Musky,

I'd imagine that nothing has changed since I pulled the motor apart but I will measure it to make sure.

Cheers,

Just a thought though, doesn't the shock absorber spring on the engine sprocket eliminate the end float?

err, nope.

For the very same reason you can't help yourself out of a quick sand pit by grabbing your feet and pulling.  *smile* *whistle*

The cush assembly merely clamps the inner race to the crank webb. The inner race can slide in the outer as it is a roller bearing. You need to set the end float using the corect thickness shims which you can buy in a packet of varying thicknesses. Beware some manuals [haynes] show / describe shims on the timing side. THIS IS INCORRECT.

Good Luck
Regards

In case you should need to remove the bearing Richard (Manosound) made an excellent tool to remove this...

Shall do chaps,

I will respectfully request that someone explain setting the end float to me in a manner that befits my lack of experience in doing so (like a dullard!)  When I pulled the motor apart there were no shims on the crank, and four between the outside of the crank case and the sleeve on which the drive sprocket goes onto.

Cheers,

Dave.
