Hey everybody!
Just starting to rebuild my crank after I collected the parts from the machinist the previous week. ( wife on trip this weekend - so no chance to get anything done with the "ninja kids" around).
I however started the rebuild this evening. Ended up in a "tie" with the score: pelle-1 / crank 1. I managed to get the drive gear in place. The crank however resisted when I was installing the spacer.
So I'll have to pull it off tomorrow - and see if I can win.
Question:
has anyone got an experience to shear with regards to which temp to heat the spacer up to? Mr Waynes book suggests 150°c - I went for 175°c - but still the spacer won. 225°c ok? Its of steel so should be no prob. The distrobutor gear is of a different material - looks like brass? Mr Eaynes book states 100°c. Would something go wrong with 225°c on that one As well?
