[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 470497, member: 15465"] I got back to working on my '72 18 HP. I measured .020 crankshaft end play, 3 times the max limit (.007). So I am wondering how much longer this pup will run. What would it take to replace bearing? Do you have to split the case, press on new bearing & other hard-to-do stuff? Or am I overthinking a 48 YO motor (best case). Thanks & Merry Christmas to my TinBoats friends! Edit - bought a shop manual this AM. I'm in too deep with this motor to scrap it now. [/QUOTE]
