Flywheel bearings

[ianmoran]

Asking for a mate,

He's built the engine up with a 2205 bearing instead of a 205. I don't know why.

The question is, will this still run ok with the dished washer in place or does he need to start again?

Thanks

Has he fitted a GP 200 crank? I think the 2205 bearing was fitted to GP 200's only from '69. All other engines use the 205.

Yes, it's a GP crank

The 2205 bearing will be fine you need to leave the spacing ring out

[ianmoran]

Sorry if this sounds daft but what happens if he leaves the dished washer in place?

if the 3mm spacer washer fitted with a 2205 bearing then there is insufficient room left for the large oil seal and circlip!!!
