[QUOTE="ZeroJunk, post: 7939467, member: 22179"] The big end bearing will move left and right, but it should not tilt either way. Maybe 1 degree. I would replace the seals just as a matter of course. You can inspect the crank bearings better that way. The clutch side probably has a sharp step to get the seal over. Make sure you don't drop the spring out of the seal getting it over. One layer of electrical tape to make a little ramp and some grease helps. Think if I were you I would find an old junker and practice splitting the case. It is not complicated , but you can break the thing. [/QUOTE]
