Re: Leaking near flywheel

If I get to mine I'll take a picture and I expect to find it down to copper all over because I don't think it has ever been apart.

When I used to take engines apart for first overhaul back in the 60's and 70's I would consider that a good bearing. Usually they were worn to the copper over the entire surfaces. If the crank still looks smooth I would just pop in a new set of bearings and be done with it. Then drive it for the next 20 or 30 years.
