Dressers Down again

If the bottom end is a Timken sprocket shaft bearing, then it's more complicated.  If it's a roller bearing on the sprocket shaft, then the bottom end work is very straight forward, with one exception.   I'd say putting on the casing sealant (not too thick, not too thin) is about the most complicated part of the job, if it's not a Timken bottom end.

I assume you are referring to a Timken tapered bearing? Why is the tapered Timken bearing more complicated than a parallel roller bearing?

It must be shimmed correctly, where as a roller is just basically slapped in.

Thank you; like the EVO engines.

Also, if you don't have the tools, then removing/installing the races can be difficult.  If it's a native Timken bottom end, then removing the race spacer is even tougher without the proper tools.
