Glad to hear!

Hi 7:00 so the spring side of the seal should face inside the crank housing not towards the drive side? You did that bit a be quick😂 great useful videos🙂👍

[@kickbackgarage]

Spring towards pressure. So lip towards crankshaft. 😎

[@bianchetfam7960]

Hi, really helpful. But how do you know how far the main bearing needs to go in. Do you screw in until flush with the casing ? Thansk

[@kickbackgarage]

You can see if the bearing is fully home by simply flipping the engine over and see if it is flush against the case.

Rob, do you not smear grease/ silicone on the halite seal in place ?

[@kickbackgarage]

I've always just used grease.

[@kickbackgarage]

Replied a bit quick, yes. A smear of grease, same as on sidecase gasket. I edited that out because I started waffling too much. I'm hoping those who follow my stuff are reading stickies too. 😀

[@exsoulagent]

Kickback Garage no it’s good too waffle 😆

[@kickbackgarage]

@@exsoulagent I`m trying my hardest to keep the vids around 15 minutes, so I normally have to edit away about 45 minutes.... hahaha I`m not kidding!

[@bianchetfam7960]

Do i need to pack the main bearing with high melting point grease? Thanks

[@kickbackgarage]

No. Only flywheel bearing. Main bearing is lubricated from gearbox oil.
