Sorry, I am not sure if I am picking up what you are putting down...did you make a spacer from an old oil seal to take up the slack between the bearing and the case?
@Shane¹ I too am looking for some clarification on your mod. Did you add another seal over the integral bearing/rubber coated cup with the integral seal and used it as a width spacer?

Haha yup I deleted the video of it running but it was crazy the crank would shift every time you hit the gas
I'll bet. That was a good catch and fix with seals you had on hand from other bearings. I've only used one aftermarket set of bearings on these. They were the same width and color brown as OEM of rubber shell bonding material. This tip you supplied will save someone as arsz ache in the future for sure. Thx for letting some additional posts to your thread @farminkarman.

I like your approach to this Greg. I know your a busier family man now. But, this site has needed some professional builder input for well into 6 Mos to a year now. Again thx for making the time. Looking forward to thread progress.

Perfect timing for this thread to come up! Last cutting season my 350 developed an air leak. I shut it down and put on the shelf. I need to fix it some time soon. It seems to develop an air leak every couple of years. Last time was the silly stock intake. Thanks to everyone contributing to this thread- it is appreciated!
