Subject:      Pilot Bearing...Out!, Another Question

It worked, it worked

Took a while to file that washer just right, and it took a lot of force , but the remains of the bearing finally squeeked out of the end of the crank.

I promptly hammered in the replacement bearing.

Next question.

The gasket kit I have includes 2 sets of 4 metal sealing rings. The thicker, less flexible rings go -between- the top of the cylinders and the heads.

My question is about the thinner, very flexible rings. These could conceivably go -around- the crankcase end of the cylinders, or -around- the head end. Which is the right location, and are these rings necessary?
