That motor didnt fail due to a slip fit bearing.... Or any kind of main bearing issue from what I see in those pictures...
My Personal vote.... Cast piston strikes again

i know, just making a point. there are some big pieces of metal moving very fast in there and when things go wrong it can get messy and expensive. motorad, did you use a slip assembly on your motor, i have never heard of it but must say i am a skeptic

But not so much that i can slide the bearing just onto it, right?
correct
--- Quote ---if you crank is worn on the journal you have a problem

It was worn, that?s why i sent it to the "machine shop"
why did they not fix it
--- Quote ---the main bearings should go in the casing first not on the crank

That?s what i wanted to do, i just tried to slide the bearing on casually.
sorry i miss understood
