Ok, a quick update on the crank seal leak. I've got a replacement seal and pulled the faulty one out. After a close inspection it appears to be slightly uneven which made it canted which apparently made it sit unevenly and allow a leak.
I've installed a new seal with no heat and having the crankshaft slider removed, which made it quite a bit easier. I used crankshaft sprocket as a guide to push it inwards which applied even pressure and worked well for me. Previously I used a PVC pipe but the power valve sprocket was getting in my way so the crankshaft sprocket worked better.
Anyways, I doublechecked new seal for leaks and it's air tight. I still need to cut a new gasket for a clutch cover since the one that I got in a rebuilt kit does not match. I ll update on my results when I put it back together, leak test it and try to run.
