I've been told that you can use the wider nu2205 mag side bearing without issue on an li/sx type crank (obviously also not using the mag housing spacer ring). Is this right? Anyone doing this as the wider bearing has to be better.
Thanks.
Nu205/2205

I understand that the drive side oil seal shoulder on the GP200 crank is shorter then the SX/Li crank to allow this bearing to be used.

To be completely honest, I can't remember, but I did mine a couple of months back and remember that you can't, but not exactly why.Ihateyoubutler wrote:Why?hendy wrote:you need to use a gp crank with that bearing
Billy from Barnsley offers a reason, so I'm just going to agree with him.

That is correct. The alignment of the bearing to the race will be off if you use the GP bearing on a LI crank. You would need to machine the seal shoulder down on the crank to make it all line up. Cheaper to just buy the correct bearing.
