i drilled a hole every 6 inches all around the aluminum panel, then set it on the door, marked the holes and drilled into the door and used screws to hold it together, i think 18 screws on each door

ok so i got a BIG question. the new bearings that i jsut got tinight are the same as the old ones, the guy that i was on the phone with said all the toyota bearings they have the indentation for the center bearing is either in the center or both to the right. my block center bearing spot takes a indentation to the left, but i only got the wide bearings to the right. will i be ok using a narrower bearing for the center that will work or will it screw it up? and does anyone know why my motor is so different?

figured out my bearing problem, now i got another, torqued down the crank in the right sequence and it will not turn at all with all my weight on it (180lbs). even if only 1 cap is torqued it still wont turn. its stock size bearings, stock size crank, anyone know whats up?

OMGOSHHHHHHHHHH! I had posted up a response that took a while......... Then read your last post again and didn't read it carefully enough... so I ERASED MY POST! grrrrrrr! LOL.
OK< so, ....... Your crank was not ground AT ALL?
If not, and you have bearings for even a '10/10' grind.... I would THINK that could cause a lot of resistance. Why? Because you're putting a thicker bearing in for a crank that is supposed to be, now, smaller in diameter(just saying IF that happened).
I had lil difficulty turning over my donor long block at the 'yard' with 2 spun bearings... So YES, something is way wrong.
Sometimes, people mix up the caps(don't mark which came off which bearing.... And THEY SHOULD be marked/numbered... )....
Can you get a pic of the bearings, installed, when you pull the caps and crank out again?
(PS> Remove the caps in the proper sequence as well.)
Hmmmmm's....
1. Maybe the caps are in the wrong place?
2. OR, the crank was NOT surfaced properly and you got an issue with it being out of round?
3. OR, the bearings are for 20/20 grind on a crank that is not ground.... make sense?

Far as the "Stock Crank with 10/10 Bearings" portion... Imagine a 20oz Coke Bottle trying to fit into a 12oz. Foam Soda Cooler(You know, the kind that you hold in your hand that keep the drink cool... that say things like, "I don't mind the work! It's the 8 hour wait to go home!" hehe)
