I fitted the crankcases together this evening after installing all the crankcase bearings. I took Ian’s advice and a installed a single shield outer bearing on the drive end. Additionally, I reinstalled the shield that was in there originally. The thing is, I’m struggling to see how the shield operated. It’s not a close fit on the crank nor its housing. Currently it turns with the crank but can be stopped with very little pressure from a screwdriver. (The outer bearing is pressed well and truly home).
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Many thanks for any advice as always,
G.
