[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 23973, member: 433"] +1 for loctite. if the spindle is still well guided in the hole and does not wobble around I would use Loctite 648. You have to follow the instructions closely and turn the spindle after inserting in the whole. I had a talk with a loctite representative a few years ago. he explained to me that L. is some kind of microballs incapsulated epoxy resin. When turning the spindle you sort of crack the microballs and mix the resin and hardener. For a standard streetbike, I would think it will give a repair that should last for 20.000 + mls. So after the riding season you can dismantle your engine, split the cases and have the timing side rebuilt professionally. But be aware splitting the cases usually reveals even more problems and adds sums to the total cost. [/QUOTE]
