Crankshaft resistance
Hi all,
I'm putting my engine back together after a lower end rebuild and im installing the right side crank nut that holds the gear on. Before I torque the nut the crank spins freely, after torqueing it has a decent amount of resistance to it. The case halves are torqued to spec and I do not have the flywheel on the other side yet. Seems a little odd to me...anyone experience this??? The gasket kit I bought had 2 case gaskets in it, one thin and one thick. It had a thin one in it but I screwed it up putting the cases together and had to use the thicker one. This is an 05 ec250 with a roller bearing on the left and a ball bearing on the right. Once its torqued I have no linear side to side play in the crank. Any ideas....thanks!
