The one we've all been waitin for

where did you get your bearings? are you replacing all of them in the cases

 

[sc0r1a]

^^ was the point of that so the cases expand (with heat) and the barring shrink (with cold) and that alouds the barring to drop right in?

yes. if you leave the bearing in the freezer overnight it'll do good work. on the bearings that you have to put onto a shaft you can use a bearing heater, or torch. but a bearing heater will heat up to a specific temp. works alot better than a hammer

the crank bearings are hotrods. and no i didn't replace all the tranny bearings. they are in good shape and it was a bit pricy to buy new ones when not needed. just had a scare. thought that i was going to have clearance issues with my +3 crank but i put the other case half on and used an old jug and piston to move the crank and there weren't any clearance issues with the crank when everything was together. now i have to split the cases again though. pain in the arse but worth the peace of mind in my book

 

[scotj77]

done for the day

got the crank in and mocked up top end to make sure of clearances.

finally got it the cases together after a long hard fight. I had a chewed up locator pin that i couldnt' get out and it was makin the cases come together crooked. got it figured out after like 5 times trying to get it together

my dog bein a tard tryin to get a stick through too small of an opening. helped me not throw my tranny across the garage though. gave me a pretty good laugh

 

[Whitty21]

haha my dog has those same problems lol

 

[brandoz28]

nice man!!!! cant wait to see this all together


and sometimes the vito's crank has clearance issues at the opening there at the top of the cases.



and my lady friend lets me build stuff wherever in the house, its awesome! lol

 

[scotj77]

yeah that's why i mocked up the motor with an old jug and piston before i put the tranny together. no clearance issues.

 

[brandoz28]

sweet deal man, can't wait to see this come together
