Quick question

[2strokebeater]

Split my cases to fix a transmission issue. The left side crank case bearing stayed on the crank. There were no issues with any of them. When i put it back together i simply just put the case half back on. Everything slid together fine and is torqued to spec. Should i have removed the bearing from the crank and pressed it back in the case?

No.
This has been normal in my experience.

Awesome. Just thought it should have been harder to slide in the case. Since i see alot of people heating the case and freezing the bearing.

Tolerances are weird. I've went to swap cranks and old bearing / crank slipped right out of right case, had to use puller on new 3 mil. Similar things with left side.
Have used the heat and freeze method many times. Do NOT heat bearings or cases directly with any kind of torch.

Yeah its been years since ive dug into one. Didnt think anything of it till i was reading threw the manual. Lol all went together smoothly so i think ill be okay on start up. Just waiting on parts now.
