I have never used lock tite on a race like that just heat it up with a propane torch and slide it on if you look at your input shaft it should be raised up a little bit just before the seal to prevent the race from walking up the shaft. Do not over heat the race. Just hold it with a pair of Chanel locks when you get it hot slide it up the shaft quickly it cools fast and adheres to the shaft as it cools and shrinks
Well....heres where Im at. Amy checklist recommendations before I button it up the this weekend? Anything look obviously wrong
compensator bolt to 140 ft lbs.
chain between 5 & 7/8 checked in multiple places (takes a little effort to rotate chain around.....normal?)
clutch adjusted.
snap ring verified engaged
before i out the starter back on I wanted ta take it apart and verify nothing is jacked up. Is that easy? Something else Ive never done.
Was putting the starter back together and ran interest a snag. Came back to it today to see if maybe I was just having a bad day the first time but having the same problem.
One of the long starter motor bolts wont screw in. It will if I try it without the motor so I can get it further in to catch. Its like maybe the first threads in the body that it screws into arent catching it. Any options or ideas? Its like I need a bolt that just a hair longer....
Does the long bolt have the nut on the other end that can be adjusted like in the pic? If so, was it moved to where it shortened the the threaded end you are working with?

it does have that nut on the other end, but it doesn't look adjustable. I didn't actually try because it looked like it was solid. I'll give that a try. Thank you.
