I also have a complete rebuild lying around.
Do you really need to open up for lower transfer? The bearing cup is quite small, I would have thought it wouldn't be that bad in terms of size compared to NE and original there

Okay, OE I have too.
Thought I'd make a transparent plastic gasket to see how much I have to touch the bearing cup and the lower transfers

Just use a 346 base gasket and scribe the inside of the transfer area. Not much to it.

The Rancher is done, tore it down so I could do a thorough job of cleaning it and inspecting everything to make sure it is good to go. Starts, runs, idles, oils as it should. This is the third 455/460 that I've had in the shop in the past week or so, they are really fairly easy to take down for cleaning and inspection.
The Poulan is currently disassembled and cleaned. It is a clamshell design as well, but the crankcase bottom is a separate aluminum piece so I take the 4 screws out to remove the engine intact and use some shorter screws to keep the engine together while I clean and check everything.
