[QUOTE="oexing, post: 113626, member: 1493"] Actually the bigger difference is the horizontally split engine case - no ? In that case you cannot easily have a good shrink fit when assembling the engine so in consequence you see walking races after some higher mileages. Unless there are features preventing races to spin like keys or pins so no spinning is possible. Good engineering really cares for light shrink fit gripping races well enough till a bit higher than operating temperatures. I go for sizes that free races at about 120 degrees C so no big problems with spinning races and no factor in internal play in the bearings when hot. Vic [/QUOTE]
