I am rebuilding my 07 600 RMK and I noticed that the 2 inner crank bearing do not spin as free as the outers. They feel smooth but willnot free spin at all. Is this normal or do i need to replace it?

If you wash them clean with gas then they should spin completely free. But if they come out of the case they will be loaded with oil and won't necessarily spin free. They should spin completely smooth though, but not necessarily spin "loose" or "free".

So they are... but they still should be smooth, but wouldn't spin freely then right?
Didn't the 600 small block have issues with those bearings? Seems like the '06 had some failures there.
