Well, I finally got started on my rebuild (stock 2.2) after many months or procrastination. Got the crank assembled and she looked good. Got the case all cleaned up (for a mag case that is), put the carrera oil pump in, crank, and used Locktite 574 with the green 0-rings on the through bolts. Went together well, even had the wife helping. Got the little orange ooze at the seam and she looked good. Tried to move the crank to see how it felt and it wouln't budge, not at all. I'm pissed, my forehead starts to sweat, I swear a bunch, stop to think through it and can only figure something is wrong with the bearings. I look at the box they came out of and it says 0.25, not std. I swear some more. I ordered a std set of rod and main bearings from our friends at MM. Rods are fine. Time to call EBS.

PS: the green o-rings work good. I didn't use the black RTV, just oil. When I took case back apart I noticed the rings on the side bolt head sealed real nice. The ring on the nut side that have to sit on the bolt thread get kinda chewed up.
