When I put the two crank halves together the crankshaft is hard to turn. Maybe I should start from the beginning. (All of the following was with new bearings and a new crankshaft) (Hot Rod)
I sent Eric my crank case halves and he installed the bearings.
I then installed the crankshaft in the left bearing using the technic in his book (heat the bearing for 5 minuts, freeze the crankshaft) This worked perfectly and the crank was easy to turn. (It was also on all of the way)
I then assembled the transmission (Still works good after assembly)
I then put on the glue (Hondabond) on one half and assembled (No I did not put on too much)
While installing I did not spin the crankshaft while installing it (Is this the problam and will I have to dissasemble to fix this? The manual did not say anything about doing this)
Any ideas on where I messed up and what I should do to fix it? I have not installed the seals so I know that they could not be the problem. There is nothing in there that I could have messed up. When I got the bolts snug I tried to turn the crankshanft and hit it on both sides to help it setup in the bearings. Did I start too late with this or do you even have to help the bearings setup on the crank? Thanks
