Re: KF 5 lower crankshaft seal

[jeff-register]

Sir,
Best replace the needle bearing as well, One of Carl’s early design. I never pulled the tube, 24" extention & some fiber light, no problem Exacting clearances on inner needle recess on the block 2 get end play correct. I enjoyed the engineering. Joe Poole has a late top crank seal, can tell it’s white,
& Merc never put one in. The piston ring pins are in alighment which should be 180 out
