1. I fully disassembled my motor today for full an thorough painting.
There two huge oil seals - one on the left crankshaft side and one on a gearbox shaft.
They stayed on their shafts and still look really good.
I'd replace them since it's first and probably last time this engine is open this far. But they are pricey :/ Is thre somebody who splitted crankcase halves here ? Any experience with all the bottom seals ?
2. Second thing - I found out my clutch pushrod is in two parts - one short steel and one with two "threads" on both ends. I don't understand it since there is one long clutch pushrod with "thread" on one end on every scheme for GS 550 from 1977 to 1980 and further... Can anybody explain this to me ? Or maybe the PO put some weird pushrod inside when he broke the original ?
