Indian casings?

I've heard of some instances where the 4 holes for the oil seal retainer plate are not machined centrally to the bearing hole and this results in the seal lip fitting tighter to the crank on one side and looser on the other. Does the seal you removed show uneven wear?

One possible solution to this is to 'customise' an oil seal plate with new screw holes to suit.

Spanish case converted to 200, MB seal plate . Couldn't see any uneven ware ? I'll have amother check when I get home.
Can you check a crank for twist, between two centres on a lathe ? How much is runout is acceptable?
