    Is the flywheel taper damaged/cracked allowing the flywheel to come down lower on the crankshaft than it should? Post some pictures of how you are assembling the carbon seal/spring/cam, hopefully it is something simple…Sorry about the damaged carbon seals…
    You mention that the point cam goes below the key, so it more or less spins freely on the crank? Seems like some sort of assembly sequence error…

    Here’s what I do
    Carbon seal with o ring pressed as far as I can by hand.
    Large brass washer on top of carbon seal lip facing up
    spring, large opening down
    small brass washer lip facing down
    point cam
    flywheel
