<DIV><SPAN class=345093120-24052003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
retainer touches the inner race of the front bearing. I thought it
shouldn't touch, so I spent a few hours thinking how to make it not to touch.
(total dumb action)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=345093120-24052003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
measured everything including the case depth etc with the old front bearing
on crankshaft with retainer to find how deep the bearing has to go in the
crankcase. Having a Caliper helped here.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=345093120-24052003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I did
as much as I could to lock it up (even tried to wet sand the retainer a little

FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><BR>The retainer has to go all the way to the bearing . It
pushes the inner race against the step on the crankshaft . This is what
locates the crankshaft in its proper place. If it does not go all the way to
the bearing , the crank could float fore and aft causing damage that new
bearings alone won't fix.<BR><BR>If everything is in its proper place , the
retainer should lock down on the crankshaft against the bearing inner race and
the crank should spin freely . You may have more than one problem. I would
suggest that you seek the aid of a local engine guru and let him look at what
you have . <BR><BR>Have you run this engine before tearing it down , or did
you purchase it from someone who said it needed repairs before running it
? Gotta ask !<BR><BR>Robert Gainey</FONT>
