The bearing on the side cover I have is more of a slip fit, and I can spin the outer race of the bearing inside the cover with a little finger pressure. Is this acceptable? If not is there any way to tighten it up?
My only worry is that during normal operation the bearing is going to spin in the outside race and wear away the aluminum housing.Mine are similar .
Some are a little tighter then others .
That's actually how they were designed .
The bearing originally is press fit on crank , slip fit in side cover .
Just for fun on a mini bikeLoctite bearing locker .
You could try dimples .
Is it for stock class racing , vintage or fun ?
That’s what I figured, because with the slip fit you have your couple thousands of movement for crankshaft endplayI personally wouldn't worry about it .
Or either aforementioned solutions .
