Hi all,

First of all thanks for all the valuable info you posted in my previous reassembling a B20 thread!! Looks like I'm gonna be looking for a timing gear soon, but for the rest everything looks good: I can indeed move the crankshaft very easily when near TDC or BDC, indicating there is no seizing in the journal assemblies themselves. The drag explains the rest, and there is more drag in a 2.0L straight four than in a 0.6L flat twin, which are the only engines I rebuilt before!!

I took great care to have everything clean clean clean when working, so I should be on the right side by now!

Now here's another question for the week-end, folks. Stupid but quite important:
how do I take out the bearing that's in the back of the crankshaft (pilot bearing, I think it's called?)?? the circlip and washer are off but the ball bearing itself seems to love its crank A LOT!! How do I separate them?

Thanks and have a good week-end! Séb
