Best part is when they bore out the machine shop will get a great cross hatch on the cylinder wall after they are done

Im going to take your advise Spicy and bore it one size bigger .25 I believe. Was thinking about metal fatigue from 29+ years while standing over the bbq yesterday. Took the clutch side crank seal out today and found a large snap ring behind it. I wasnt expecting that. Any thoughts as to which side to press the bearing out from? Remove bearing out the clutch side or press towards the center of cases. Fan side was pretty self explanatory. Ive done many engines just new to golf carts and the large snap ring threw me a curve.
