Had another go at heating the cases. Took the old propane camp stove and added "C" clamps to hold the case off the flame. The first try, even with the water splatter method the bearing race stuck in and failed to drop the whole distance. Ok, reheated it and tapped the race back out. Gave it some time to cool the whole lot down before another go.
On the second go around I used a pyrometer attachment to the DVOM. When it got to about 288`f or so I grabbed the race and gave it a try. CLINK with a drop right in. Well ok then, this is moving in the right direction. After letting it cool about an hour I brought it back in for measurements.
