cisco ,,i'm with ya,,i've seen that technique,,,good news is that you claim the rest of the bore is NOT tapered
the bottom line is still this:
After doing the proper heat n freeze technique,,that bearing should drop in all the way and be held with circa .001'' of crush....AND apparantly that is not the experience of many owners
