    I an upper crankcase bushing and/or seal is bad, one can
    test by pouring a little oil around the crankshaft, and turn
    the engine over slowly with a wrench. If you see bubbles
    in the oil, repairs are needed.
    Of course, if an upper crank bushing or bearing is bad enough,
    you can feel “side play” in the flywheel.
