Footrest
Whats cookin?
Friday night the wife went out with the ladies and I cooked up some Triumph crank shaft bearings.
It was almost too easy. It's freezing outside, so I put the bearing on the back porch for a few hours. Then I fired up the oven to 350 (I chose 350 because my mother cooks everything at 350). I cooked the primary side first for 20 mins. I pulled the case out of the oven and dropped the frozen race in. I was ready to have to force it into place but I was able to push it in with my fingers. A few minutes later the race was not moving and in its proper place. I did the same thing for the timing side and the transmition bearing.
Next up reassembling the cases.
