On regular bearings, I heat the crankcase halves to 320° in the bearing pocket with a mapp gas torch. Mapp bottles hook up just like the propane bottles, but burns a little hotter.
A good $20 investment is a digital laser instant "spot temperature" reading gun. They read in either celcius or farenheit.

They are cheap, and help you be sure it's expanded enough to drop the bearing right in with no guesswork and frantic cussing when your expensive bearing stops halfway in.
