Didnt see the "adaptor".. Didnt follow this post till just now
Here is my order.... Not for the faint of heart, or the SLOW worker.. as it all happens VERY VERY fast..
Get a Beer...
I install crank seals, then mains in the cases Using Heat/freeze method (drink a beer).... install tranny... (dont forget to GREASE ALL SEALS)
Oil crank.... put in freezer overnight... Have another beer or 4
Next day... turn oven on to 500F.. put in 4 impact sockets, that are same size as "inner race" on mains.. Have a beer.
let sockets heat for about an hour... or so.. have 2 beers
take 2 sockets out... Place on the inner race of each case.. for about 4min... This method keeps all heat away from crank seals (your next to the freezer, get another beer)
While those are on there... Put Case sealer on Primary side case..
Get other 2 sockets... Place on mains (take other 2 off).. (need another beer?)
let sit for 2 min... then go get the crank (my freezer is a 1min round trip from bench).. (no time for beer need to work fast at this point.)
Drop crank in Clutch side case (the one the tranny is in)... it will fall all the way through and go "CLUNK" against the main... (have to have case proped up so crank end wont hit bench).. I have a universal motor stand built out of 2x4's for this...
Imediatly get ignition side case.. and Drop on...
Make quick sure it spins free and is centered.. now is the quick time for a light tap with a rubber hammer to undo any bind your in...
Install Case bolts you ALREADY HAVE LAYED OUT.. In order... along with proper tools.....
Torque to half spec...
...........Have a sip of beer................
Torque to full spec...
Have a beer.. you did good..

Here is the thread that quote came from BTW... if you want to do more reading

I have also done it my way, in stages...
Heat clutch side case, freeze crank... drop in.... Then Freeze ENTIRE tranny and crank AGAIN.. (god bless Chest freezers) and repeat with ignition side case...
(reasons I do this way is... when all my ducks dont line up.. and I have to abort mission half way through...... :roll: :roll: )

Ok well I will freeze the crank overnight....but I dont understand what heating the sockets are for....the seals and bearings are in the case already

To heat up the INNER race of the bearing.... to Expand it... So the crank will just FALL IN.. the greater tempurature variance you can have, the easyer it will go together..
also note... Using this method.. the crank wont spin free till all your temps equalize...
Also from Ricks post I linked you to... a tap of the crank with a dead blow is somthing I left out... JUST A TAP.. dont bend things.. a crank Jig is your friend..
chris-mets:
ok lets make things clear....so i put the crank in the freezer overnight and it will be in there until 3 pm tomorrow...then I heat a socket that fits in the circle of the bearing at 500f for an hour then I take it right out after an hour and press it against the 2 bearings for like a minute? then i place the crank in the tranny side then i place the other side on easily...then wait 5 mins then done? and i screw all the screws in? please correct me
