Now I have split the cases and the crank is ready for rebuild with a new rod. And of course, a new countersunk M6 bolt
I couldn't get the OEM crank bearings and seals, so I ordered them from a local industrial supply shop (before diamantling the engine). However, when I opened the engine, I found the crank seals to be brown in color. I expect the seals I receive to be black , as are all the other seals in the engine/gearbox. Does this matter? Are the brown seals of another / better suited material (viton?) Any insight would be appreciated. Sent fra min YAL-L21 via Tapatalk

Viton are a little more suited, but I have used generic seals with no issues in the past. Bearing shops are usually much cheaper than standard. Just need to make sure you get the right specification regarding the bearings.

I will use the "standard industrial grade" seals. I did also discuss it with the professional mechanic who is doing my crank. His comment was: "If that had been a problem, I would have received a lot of claims. I'm using those all the time". 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.

Just to wrap this up:
Things take time. After 7 weeks the bike is back in business (it seems). I started it late Wednesday evening, and rode it 10 minutes in the deep snow yesterday. My original plan was to rebuild it during the christmas vacation, but I fell ill and could't do it. Then, on the new year, I started working again and had no time.
It was due for a winter service anyway, so I
Took it riding.

Good job mate! You will not need to touch that crank again for a very long time.
