When I was directed above to split the case and reassemble it, that only makes sense to me if I am going to go ahead and refinish the halves and install new bearings, etc.
I am looking to sell this motor, not rebuild it.

I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. You put the used bearings in. You put the crank in. You put the halves together and hand tighten them. You aren’t rebuilding anything. You are checking to see if it has warped. If it’s not warped it will spin freely. If it’s warped it won’t. It’s that simple. Nobody expects you to rebuild an engine you are about to sell.
