Re: crankshaft locking up
do you mean the big strange looking metal oil seal on
the main engine block side?
also is it ok to tap out the crank (gently) with a hammer
or will i have to get a dedicated extractor?

Re: crankshaft locking up
okay thanks for that will have a look as the
engine has been lying in a box in bits for a good

can you pull in the crank too far on the bearing
on the main engine side? as when the halfs are bolted together
the crank web to engine casing gap seems lopsided
