DOH!  Warning... the factory service manual (correct one) shows a picture of the crank that is WRONG.  They must have reused the older picture from a previous manual, it sure ain't the KDX-200 H1 crank, thats for sure.

In the midst of a controlled panic using four hands to keep parts hot and goo spread and parts cold and cases aligned as they press together a case, that could lead a guy to look at the picture, say "this end of the crank isn't that one", and flip the crank over to drop it in the hot bearings.   :bang:   :bang:   :bang:

At the same moment the bearings cool down and clamp back down on the crank, it will be obvious that that other side doesn't match the picture either.   :coocoo:

So it's all back apart now, and all the permatex ultra grey is scraped back off, and the parts are back in the deep freeze for another try later today :(

The temperature trick makes it easy to put together with no crank stress... so that's good news.  Try two should go well now that I have been through it before... it's not actually that bad, just lots of aligning of planets and a bit of a stressful mad rush if something starts to go wrong.
