ROYAL ENFIELD WORKSHOP MANUAL
Mount the crankshaft between centres and
true up to .0005 in. on either side of the shafts.
If the readings for the two shafts are high on
opposite sides, the error can be corrected by
gently tapping either or both of the flywheels.
If the readings are high on the same side of
the two shafts, it is probably due to dirt or
foreign matter in the joints and the crankshaft
should be dismantled again, carefully examined
and cleaned and re-assembled.
7. Reassembly of the Crankcase
Replace the outer roller races, etc., in the
crankcase halves as described in Subsection 4.
Fit the inner distance piece and the rollers
and cage in the driving side crankcase.
Lay the thrust washer on the bearing.
Assemble the flywheel into the bearing, if
necessary using the sprocket nut with suitable
packing piece to draw the driving shaft through
the inner race(s) of the ball bearing(s).
Make sure that the crankcase face is clean
and apply jointing compound to it.
Put the thrust washer on the timing side shaft
and the rollers and cage.
Put the magdyno straps over the studs in the
timing side crankcase and place the latter in
position over the flywheel.
Bolt the two halves of the crankcase
together, making sure that the joint matches
correctly so that the cylinder base is flat.
