Husky 357 bearing depth. Uh oh...

[Wagnerwerks]

I just realized I installed the bearing in the case first and it's not against the crank lobe. Will this be ok? Not sure why I did it this way. I put this bottom end together years ago... the seals are already in or I'd drive them in farther.

Missing crank stuffers?

359 crank. No stuffers. I have 3 other bottom ends here. Two are like this, one has bearings against the crank.

weird , oem crank on all three?
My 357 cranks has extra space(crank has diff diameter also compared to bearing diameter) for carrieng stuffers.

It seems like it would egg out the case easier with half the amount of support for each bearing.

Isnt those 357&359 cranks the same with 359 comes without the stuffers but stuffers can be mounted?

Yes

The bearings are fully supported but they u st aren't against the crank webs.

I built this bottom end the same time I built my other 357 but I just didn't remember it being like this so I figured I'd ask you guys.

I ported a 359 top to test. It's set up at 100, 116, 76 so I wanted to try it out. My box o 359-7 parts is getting a little rougher over the years...lol.

I'd run it & not worry at all.

I bolted the top end on already this morning
I'm layed off right now and a man can only handle so many thing on his honey do list in a row. Lol.

I have a 372 that I didn't get the bearings all the way against the crank and it is doing fine.
