Thank you Tom and Ian.
I believe I do have all the gubbins on the crank and the big nut is tight so tomorrow I shall dismantle enough to take an accurate reading. The movement is definately more than the maximum allowed.
I'll also post some pictures of all the parts in sequence in case I'm missing something, or got the order wrong.
Am I correct in saying that the only way to reduce any excess play is to replace the main bearing? That worries me somewhat as I believe the bearing is a new one.
Regards
Steve
Hi and thanks for the replies.
I've attached a pic of the replacement main bearing (on left) and one from another early engine I have (on right).
Hi and thanks for the replies.

I wonder if the 'early' style main bearings are available or how would I fix that?

Early engine...
if 110.000 then forget what dealers tell you..
Early engines may look the same as later ones but most of the parts are different and hard to find....
Most dealers have not seen an N let alone owned one....
Speak to Andrea at Passione 500 if you need early engne parts... if he does not have them nor knows anyone who does you will struggle...
The factory workshop manual starts with the N engine and the drawing of the engine shows the same crankshaft configuration.
I don't have time or would go through the factory parts books... you will find they have different part numbers...
