He also offered a bit of advice: To replace the seal behind the flywheel every second time I replace the piston. In his experience, that seal is usually the the first to start leaking after a few years.

The rebuild got a little delayed, as I fell ill during Christmas.
However, I did deliver the crank on Tuesday and expect it back early next week.
I have everything I need in stock (apart from one gasket) so I hope to have the engine back together in one piece within a week or two.
You will not have an issue with NTN. Quality stuff!
