rotor bearings

so i bought some rotors off ebay.. BRAND NEW bearings but the guy doesnt have any paper work on who installed them and he said that they used loctite on the bearings..

so my question is what will happend if they didnt heat up the rotors and freeze the bearings before they installed them.
i dont want to put my engine together and spin a rotor bearing..
please help me before i lose my change!

Who is building the engine? Lube up the e-shaft lobes and make sure the bearings slide nice and easy over them.
