How de hell do you get this FUCKING thing to go in it's place?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been struggling for two hours now, aligning everything up, making sure the lines on the bearings are in line with the body, but the big bearing on the right just does NOT want to go down. I tried on the other half as I thought it might be the wrong bearing, but it just slips in.
I'm building the engine upside down so I dont have to worry about getting the holes in the bearings to align, and also that the doglegs are right on the transmission gears.
Now I'm worried if I do build it right side up, I have only one chance to get it together, and there is so much that can go out of alignment. plus, I have no guarantee the FUCKING bearing will seat this time.
Please help, I have searched for an answer but I can't get one!!!
