So I'm about to put the cases together, but one thing that has stuck on my mind is that the crank
don't slip in to the new bearings with ease (the old ones did). I made a puller and pushed the crank in to one side, but if i do the same on the other side while putting the cases together i can't tell if there is tension "sideways " in the bearings if you know what i mean? maybe I'm just over thinking this, and the tension will settle when the engine warms up?
Or should i heat up the inner ring of the bearing and quickly push the cases together?

TAP it squarely, dont whale the piss out of it

once the bearing race is hot enough to sizzle off water you are good togo, i dont use a torch its easy to overheat the race and mess up balls from excessive pressure when the race expands.
Dozens of engines through my shop in the last few months, i never use a crank install tool this method never fails me
