bearings dont move...
i just installed my new front bearing in my 3.3 engine. when i turn the crankshaft, the ballbearing doesnt spin with it. the inner race doesnt move at all. does this mean i dont have a correct seal between the crank and innner race? would you think a leak would occur there?
thanks
thanks

huh? wud the heck are you talking about? i just got my new boca bearing; it cant be shot. i tested them out already and they move very smoothly. i dont think you quite understand my question. the crank doesnt "grab" onto the inner race. the crank can spin but the inner race wont spin.

well there either the wrong size or the inner ring has some slippy stuff on it so it cant grab the shaft
you could try running it anyway but may risk wearing the shaft down a little

i think the shaft is too small for the bearing. im 100% sure this is the right bearing. i think i will try threadlocking the shaft onto the baering?
