Ok, first, it's all wrong! ha ha ha.... nice and funny vid! Pretty cool to see both of you guys LIVE. The only thing is that Bob! it is with that "endplay" thing that you will scare many of doing a crankshaft seal replacement wile doing their clutch... he he, and that is worse then not changing this one. The wasser is a tough engine (botom end) and i have seen only one guy with a endplay (over .009) and this engine was working like a charm, anyway, what i'm trying to say here is if it was running fine before and you don't mess with the flywheel, you can do a seal change without having a dial end play gauge. I have check most (80%) of the engine/clutch i have done and ONLY one was out of the .003-.006 tolerance.

Everything else is just SUPER! Now, is it just me but it's kind of funny to see a guy so... meticulous being kind of "bashed" not so long ago on that specific subject!!! ok... relax all, it's just a bit funny...

THAT PROOVE ONE THING... everybody can make mistake (if any where made), now you can understand that sometime (like the video show about the same part # for the 10 and 12mm seal) even with the best intention, some stuff can go wrong, and about those seal!!! men, the average that are good in the box is about of 80%... lately, one was to loose! yea, to loose.. (i always test them on the flywheel)... can you believe that! what about one to tight!!! i won't see that! would you!!!!

Regards, Ben
