Lynn,
OK then, as long as I'm that far into it I might as well tackle the big nut too. Of course, this is only if it is actually leaking. I'll pressure clean everything really good this weekend, then do some ground runs and see what shows up.
Appreciate the info, as always.

Thanks for the confirmation. I don't recall using any sealant on it
during re-assembly (I may have, I just don't recall for certain). If it
is in fact leaking, I guess that means that I'll be pulling the gearbox,
flywheel, counterweight and bearing carrier. Or, is it possible to
remove the six bolts and slide it out a 1/2" and, using a small brush, work
some Permatex into the gap, then re-assemble? This would be without
removing the "BIG NUT".

Now that is hopeful.
I think not. I use a Chinese 1/2" impact gun, and that nut flies off.
I put it back on with that gun as well. With one drop of red Locktite.
I keep it on until there is no more movement to the nut. 300 to 400 foot
pounds is all you need.
