oil leak wasnt anything major , there was just a flake of paint aprox .1" wide by 1" long that had found its way between the crank shaft and the oil seal and was letting a bit of oil run out onto the counter.
There is a fair bit of overspray on the polished end of the crank, right up to the edge of the seal, the overspray makes for a very rough textured area that might tend to grab stuff like the loose flek of paint. I was rather suprised at how easy it was to pull the flywheel , the 4 bolts were easily loosened with a std 14mm box end wrench and were only hand tight , no need for a breaker bar . I would like to find the proper torque for these bolts to insure they are tight enough.
If you look at the pic you will see a fith hole in the end of the crank for an index pin , I am usre its used to index the crank in the crank turning and grinding machine when the crank was being made , You would figure there would be an index pin in the flywheel but not so
