Got a few more parts cleaned and re polished. rocker and timing covers were tarnished and needed to be redone while I was at it I got the gearbox cover finished as well.
Now that I have the gearbox cover off the bushes are in great shape but the old O-rings are shot. Il looking for sone leak proof Ideas, I cant see paying CNW to hog out the kicker / shifter holes on my freshly polished cover and press in a seal for $90.
I found this thread in the Commando section.

"Instead of replacing that worthless oring with another, here is a simple and effective solution.
You must still pop the cover off. Then heat the case around where the oring is with a propane torch or heat gun to pop out the kickshaft bushing.
You can buy this seal, Timkin #240731, seal number 9815 1.25 x 1 x .125 at your local oilseal dealer for around $6.00.
Lay the seal in there with a little locktite, pop the bushing in and you will be good to go and the cover will not be harmed."
