NOTE
Due to extremely close tolerances and minimal wear,
counterbalance shaft ball bearings must be inspected
visually and by feel. Look for signs of discoloration,
scoring or galling. Turn the inner race of each bearing.
The bearings should turn smoothly and quietly. The
outer race of each bearing should fit tightly in the
crankcase bore. The inner race should be firm with
minimal side to side movement and no detectable up
and down (radial) movement.
