It should remain tight. With a new free spinning bearing, it shouldnt stress the case anymore.
Bottom line is, that bearing needs to be tight when cases are tightened.
Remember, don't work on your bike so much you never ride it.

dumb question: could you use some kind of adhesive "dots" when you install the insert so it can't spin while it breaks in?OldSchoolZ wrote: It appears the bearing had seized at least slightly and spun. When you install your new bearing tighten everything and make sure you cant move the bearing by lightly tapping the outter casing.

I was pretty sure you were referring to an input or output shaft for the tranny.
Another thing I've seen done to take up space on a spun bearing was to take a center punch(pointed) and centerpunch a small mark where the bearing makes contact with the case. I'de make about 10 punch marks evenly spaced in a circle. This will push a little bit of the aluminum upwards and take up the gap made by the spun bearing. I've done it before and worked fine, some use a small bit of locktite in conjunction with the punch marks, its actually a decent fix for no money. I suspect it would be a very long time before you have to worry about a new bearing trying to spin.
