not quite as many would have suggested but does it turn by hand on the sprocket freely enoungh ,there is usually some drag

yes can turn in one handed quite easy using the dizzy drive gear to hold on to.
I agree not my finest hour as an engineer , but it seemed to work.
I didnt realise all the bearings were slightly different sizes as I did not fit them myself, so when it was ultra easy to spin when not fully inserted on all bearings its not really a true gauge of how it could be.
1/2lb at 10 inches is a lot less than 5lb so its a vast improvement. I suppose its about 3/4 ftlb in torque terms, thats sound ok?

bearings get incrementally bigger from rear to front , if it turns by hand by dizy drive then it would seem ok

if the woodruff key on the cam is super tight to get in the slot on the cam, am I ok to file it to fit? how tight do I want it- in the past they just fitted but I guess thats landies for ya lol
I take it I am ok to just leave the one in the crank in place where its been so far, no need to change them is there?
Thanks

you can file it ,side of grinding wheel gives a good finish,it wants to be a light tap in fit to cam a loose one will shear easier

if its good ,your not going to make it better by changing it

how cud it be bad?
easily signs of pressure shown by a line

yes,as we know new stuff tends too be poorer quality ,but if old is poor what choice but the new do you have

yeah bugger innit, I ordered a new cam bolt and when it came it was rusty and shorter than the orginal which was zinc plated by the looks of it. I think the old one will go back in lol
same with the cam key, the old one looked better quality, it has a stamped line on its top edge but none on the face iirc I have now filed it for tap in fit although still fairly tight. I noticed in the manual it can only stick out to a max of 31mm including the cam but do I want it to tap all the way down to the bottom of the recess int he cam? if so a bit more filing may be needed
