Scooterotica

Rebuilding a SIL 200 engine and am replacing the indian crank with a Mec crank.
When I came to fitting the flywheel side bearing inner race it just slid onto the crank by hand.
Usually this should be an tight fit and require the bearing race to be heated to slide on and then crimp tight.
I then liberally applied some (threadlock) loctite to the crank and this seems to hold teh bearing race pretty tight to the crank.
Will this be sufficient to keep teh bearing race in place in a running engine or do I need to use the purpose loctite for cylindrical locking of bearings and bushes or will the standard screw-loctite be sudfficient?

You need to find out why the bearing inner slid on easily 'cause something ain't right !

did you fit a new bearing , if so what make. I recently fitted a new mec crank with new skf bearing and had to heat the inner race to get it over the crank. did you try to see if the inner race fitted your old crank loosely aswell.

sounds too loose a tolerance to me. When the crank and bearing gets hot that will probably start spinning. when theres doubt, theres no doubt!!

If it spins it will KO your crank

Dunno about threadlock but would have thought bearing fit might have been better
