I'm just about to commence re-assembling my engine......
Woodrow says do rear bearing first, Bob Garre says do the front - which is easiest for the novice (well, two novices)?
Also, everyone agrees that you should heat the crankcase, but often suggest that you will likely still need some gentle tapping.
Has anyone tried freezing the crank prior to assembly? I can't see how it could be detrimental - it would be great if the bearings could just slip in to place.....
What do people think?
