BGM 60 x 110 crank

[Minority]

Just a quicky, can the 60 x 110 BGM crank be fitted without any machining of the casing?

cheers

The ones I've fitted have gone straight in.

Thanks Jason, thought that was the case.

I had to remove some of the casing where the con rod at the big end bearing
was catching. I used a flap wheel to remove the excess,can't remember the grade used.
But a very simple job.

And that's what I was afraid of!

Don't be afraid its easy to do. You've already got your mag flange off just tape over the drive side if you've still got the bearing in, attach the flap wheel to your drill and flap away. I brought a cheap wheel from Wilkinsons so not expensive.
But like others have said you might not have to. Oh and mine was a Spanish 150 casing if that makes any difference.
Cheers ove.

or dremel the big end part of the conrod! use teflon tape between conrod and webs to avoid metal flakes to come in..

Think I'd rather attack the case than the crank
