Rebuilding my old 051 after a loose screw was ingested through the carb and wrecked the cylinder and piston. Crankcase eventually came apart, leaving old bearings on the crankshaft. Now got them off which was a job in itself. However I don’t have a reference for the depth to which the new bearings sit in the crank case housings. I’ve got the small ignition side one in as far as it will go, using a flypress and also a socket and hammer, but it sits slightly proud of the housing. Can anyone tell me if this is normal? On the other side, the bigger one, the depth of the housing to the circlip is exactly the same as the width of the bearing which suggests it ought to be flush if hard against the clip.

Thank you.
