660 crank not centered. Help!

[badhandagain]

My crank isn’t centered. There is a business card amount on one side and maybe two business cards amount on the other side. How do I fix it, and what will be my problems if I don’t.
Also my seal to the crankcase is dented up. Is this a problem or do you think it will be fine?

thanks for the help


Thank you guys

Soft blow hammer on end of crank to center.

Owing to the cleanliness- I am picking not a 660 as such- but a Chinese knock off kit saw.
As such, the seals come fitted in the case already dont they? It is possible you popped the seal a bit when pulling the cases together.
You could try seating the seal again now- but if the internal spring has popped off and is sitting against the back of the bearing- you will not be able to see. Build it up and pressure test to see if the seal is holding- if it is not, I suggest new OEM seals for peace of mind

Is that the seal?
Looks like I can see edge of ball bearings,or is that an illusion?

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like the outer race and what he is calling the seal is actually the shield.

I’ve never put together a “Blue Chunder” to know what their seals look like, but I’m pretty sure their budget doesn’t stretch to shielded bearings- so possibly aftermarket bearings used as an “ improvement “ or seals made of bubblegum?
