Picked up the motor for the Tri car and there was a large C clip in the box. When I emailed the machinist to ask what happened he sent me this email.
I thought it might be useful information to everyone here.

Hey Steve,
Loctite 680 Retaining Compound (Bearing Retainer) (fast set-up).....I put it on the main bearing on the other side of the output shaft of the crankshaft. I applied to the outside edge of the bearing, just enough to wet it all down, to keep it located properly in the aluminum housing. The 680 will work with up to .015 difference in diameter, so even if something is sloppy, it will self centre and lock in place. Warm it up with a torch and it will come off again...
680 is fast setting--like 3 or 4 minutes.
I use it for all kinds of things. It is very strong and I will use it to hold drill bits and cutters into home made extensions. the more surface area the better. It can replace welding in radial surfaces...doesn't work to well on flat surfaces.
Hope that helps,
Jim Anderson
