Looking for clarification on the Timken bearing install. The guy is planning on using the Jim’s set up. Someone on here said that’s not the right way to do it. Can you clarify what I should be asking please? Is the Jim’s Timken design bad or is it how it’s installed I should be worried about?
the JIMS insert is the way to do it.theres talk about improper install on alignment or even some places that make their own off set inserts.we`ve installed 100`s of JIMS inserts,checking every case for misalignment,worse we`ve ever seen was .0008,no where near the point of needing any special insert made and still way better than 1 or 2 lefties on the sprocket side. most are within .0005 or less
