crankshaft to bearings

[Bucking for pops]

any one ever sand down crank journals or turn down crank to make it fit in bearings instead of fighting the fit and what would be hazards associated with this ? I see a guy on youtube that does this! Just wondering thanks in advance.By the way the saw is a 044 Stihl and this is my first rebuild>

If you mean take away material to get the ends to go into the center of the bearing bad idea. That is meant to be tight if it gets loose it will spin and get sloppy and wear .

********! He is senile! Use a heat gun and they will fall into place. Removing material from the crank end is wrong it is made with an interference fit for a reason.
