Does anyone know if green loctite was/is used when they install either jackshaft bearing at the factory? Chaincase or bracket side or both?

No
Just stick the jackshaft with the bearing mounted on it in your freezer for a few hrs.
when froze heat bearing housing with heat gun or torch and grap jackshaft and slide er in and make sure bearing bottoms out in housing.

Ok. Thanks. Just checking. Thanks for the tip. I was planning on trying it. Did that trick work for gettting the bearing mounted on the shaft as well. My shaft is in the freezer and I was going to use a hair dryer on the sealed bearing as to not damage the seals or grease.

I put the shaft in the freezer over night and pressed the bearing on. Worked well.
The jack shaft housings, seem to respond to heat quite well. Get them good and hot and the bearings should drive in relatively easy.

I don't think a hair drying will heat enough? Let me know if it warms up enough!.Ok. Thanks. Just checking. Thanks for the tip. I was planning on trying it.

Keep bearing temp blow 80*c(170*f). And it will not harm seals,grease

Maybe I’m overthinking this but do you think the condensation in the bearing will cause problems since the bearing is sealed and it will be trapped inside after being has been in the freezer and then warms up?
