I think you will find that a flanged bush pushes in to the seal and then has a shim washer that fits over it like this: - Parts 3 &4

Awesome. Thank you. That makes sense. Going to do a few bits to it tonight, but waiting on a few bits I need to arrive still.

Waiting for a couple of bits to arrive including instant gasket so can't go too mad, but did some more work on it tonight. 

 

Cleaned the cases off to make sure there wasn't any more swarf knocking around and 'washed out' all the bearings well with wd40, spinning them between blasts to make sure they ran smoothly and then oiled them, spinning between squirts until they were well lubricated. 

 

Wound the bar studs in with some washers and a liberal oiling of the studs to make sure they slid in easily.

 

Used the flywheel nut, a stack of washers and a good dose of oil on the crank to get the crank located in the flywheel side. Took it very slowly and kept checking the progress to make sure it didn't knacker anything. The crank spins ok. 

 

As soon as I have the instant gasket I'll use it and the crank gasket and hopefully get the crankcase bolted together.

good start , another thing i forgot to mention was i dont have the tools so did what  you did on flywheel side but i put the crank in the freezer and it pulled in very easily  and then  use the PTO side caae half and pulled it it in real slow with the bolts  but was not stiff atall and no big creaks  just a tweek on each bolt , the crank was still cold and put the case in oven to about 150  so it was   easy to do , so wear a  winter glove to hold it ?

Put the crankcase together today. Was hoping to use the clutch and washers in the same way I used the flywheel nut, but it turned into a massive pain in the arse with an issue with the clutch thread. Used the crank case bolts to slowly pull it together instead. Could tighten them by hand with the socket for some way and put plenty of lube on the crankshaft to help it slide in.

 

Used a brass drift and hammer to de-stress the bearings which made a noticeable difference in the ease of turning the crank. Hopefully will sort out the clutch threads tomorrow night and build a bit more up.
