I bought it without any of the crankcase bolts, the crank cover pulled from the crank so the insides were all kinds of dirty. I pulled the cover off, removed the bearing from the cover, cleaned everything out, lubed and reassembled. I’ve only got 4 bolts holding the cover on right now so I may pick up a bit more clearance once it’s fully bolted up.
I bought the motor as a project so I’ll be happy if I can save it but not heart broken if I can’t. My concern was that I didn’t reset the bearing correctly and that was affecting the end play. I probably should’ve mentioned that in my initial post...I couldn’t find any info on whether or not bearing motors have the same end play as bushing motors.
