Piston bottoming out

Hi all I have a Mugello 186 which I have fitted with a Mecure 60mm crank. I had to dremel the case a bit to get it to turn smoothly as it was touching slightly.

Fag 6305.2zr

I´ve started building my engine this weekend and have just noticed that the drive side bearing is a 6305.2ZR is this bearing OK to use or do I need to get another one. Its the one with 2 metal covers so you cant see the bearings.

cheers

Re: cheapy exhaust

When I say I have 8 Lambrettas that doesn't mean they are all show winners quite the opposite, Luckily people keep offering me bikes for 300 euros a piece and I just can't say no. The other month some bloke offered me a Lince 200 with no engine for 200 euros in boxes and well the forks are probably ...

Re: cheapy exhaust

Thanks for that advise Muttley Mcladd, I have been totaly put off now. There are a couple of wicked corners near to my house and I'm sure I would destroy the pipe sooner or later.
