[QUOTE="stumpy lord, post: 27044, member: 207"] Hi, both roger and I have found this to be problem when using modern sealed bearings in vincent crank cases. This could be one of the reasons why Roger suffered a broken primary chain ,and smashed cases, and no we were not using a clapped out primary chain. My advice for what it is worth is to find bearings that have as little lead in as possible on the central boss for your main bearings. allso if you are in any doubt to the age and condition of your primary chain then change it, especially if it is a renolds. Burst crank cases are awfully expensive to repair. stumpy lord. [/QUOTE]
