case damage

[gargantua350]

Hello There,

I have split the cases and one of the crank bearings were bad on top of the lead weights in the crank came loose and is hitting the connecting rod.  It also looked like the bearing spun in the case as the pin slot looks damaged as well.  The new bearings sit in the slots fine and don't spin in the case.  Is this acceptable and by adding Loctite work as an added safety measure?

thx

yes. you should be ok.
the only thing i would add is to clean up any burs in the bearing surface. man, that sucks. good luck.

Thanks Mark.  Yeah it was catastrophic failure and I never had that happen before...not to that degree. 


I hope to get it back up and running soon.

thx
