I am going to put piston rings in the cub, with the
engine not removed from the tractor [in frame].
When I got the pistons out, I had the bad idea of
doing the bearing inserts while the engine was torn
down.
The local machine shop got standard size Federal Mogul
bearings to put in.
I've done many tractor engines in frame with replacing
inserts.
Anyways, rolled the new main insert halfs in & put the
caps on just snug. Can't turn the crank.
Put the old inserts back in & snugged up the cap bolts---
still can't turn the crank.
Any words of wisdom on what I have done wrong?
Thanks for any help.
