Just spoke to machinist today. Bearing 4 out of round. These are Silverline bearings. I'm thinking time to go German.
Anyone else have a similar problem? |

Anyone else have a similar problem? Is it possible the machinist is out of round? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) You haven’t provided enough info to help you. It very well could be your machinist (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Split Bearings aren’t round and uniform thickness all the way around by design. Likewise even a full round bearing like #4 will have a tiny bit of an interference or tight “push” fit into the case to help keep it from spinning along with the dowel pin. I’m not taking about any significant force but they won’t just drop in perfectly freely either. Likewise, it could be the bearing bore isn’t round. Especially if case has bearing saddles that are hammered out and/or needing a line bore. What is he using to base his decision off that the bearings are not round? If he’s using the crank itself as a gauge, has the crank journal been double and triple checked? Any sign of shipping damage or deformation to the bearing itself? Too many what if’s, not enough info to help.  |
