Yes Chris, I think I don't need a crane eyelet. 😁

Michael S.:
Bronze and iron came in the mail yesterday. That's when I started with the bronze bearings. It's a shame that so much of the expensive stuff turns into chips again.
I thought Chris' idea was great and finally separated the bearings. The compensation comes later with 0.40 mm brass strips.
The final measurement was made with the adjustable reamer. That smoothes out the hole. The crankshaft is made of 17.00 mm silver steel.
Greetings Michael

Beautiful bearings! :ThumbsUp:
How did you cut the diagonal oil channels on the inside?
:popcorn:
Michael S.:
The bearings got screws. These are M 5 bolts and fortunately I had nuts that are not galvanized. The crank is a cast part and was machined in the lathe and milling machine.
I was able to make the fit so I could press the crank onto the shaft.
Tomorrow the flywheel will be on and I noticed while cleaning with the file that there were hard spots.
Since no big noise is allowed to be made tomorrow on Sunday, I went over it with the Flex today.
Let's see how it turns out tomorrow.
Michael
