PaddyDoyle Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 How ye going getting a lot of hardship putting together a 1e bottem end and need some advice. Crank is free until rod end caps are tightened to just 18NM and the bottem end locks up and cant be turned over at all. Bearings are spot on, everything was well oiled when assembled. Could it just be the lack of oil around the crank/cylinders and fix itself once fully assembled and filled with oil?Any help at all?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
