Default Cool way to install crankshaft

Just wanted to share a new (to me at least) way to install the crankshaft into already seated (in the case) crankshaft bearings. The below vid is really well done & this method DOES work as I used it on my recent LT80 crank install. The method uses heat transfer which is sound theory and doesn't require the cooling of the crank or the heating of the entire engine case. You need to get about 1/2 through the vid to see it, but well worth the time spent if you are a DIY'er and have a similar project coming up. I used an old socket that fit, but not too snug as it will expand as you heat it...enjoy!
