So, the leak has been found, how about the source of the dent?

I cannot see a way that you could have cause that dent with your boot...

Always like the easy fix's :). Last time I was in that area I threw those JIS screws in the trash and put 2 S.S. allen head screws with lock washers in. And did the 4 degree advance (actually it was 8 degrees, but since have pulled it back to about 4 degrees).

That dent doesn't make any sense secondary to where it is. Crank seals do last "forever" based on my experience with SOHC Honda CB's. Oil pressure is about 75lbs cold with 20-50W oil. Replace the filter and forget this ever happened.

Yup, that dent has had me puzzeled ever since it was discoverd, but it did work fine still with dent. But i replaced it never the less.. :)
Well, that crankseal was obvuiosly of old age and made the oil slip out when the pressure got high enugh. From the looks of it, the seal was pretty worn out so guess its one of the more lasting seals on the bike.

The old seal also have the "lip/edge" which the new one has not. Im guessing its a improved design to avoid the lip to fracture over time...?

The lip is not a sealing feature, it helped during the assembly process.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Don't need it, it was a factory thing...

Because then you'd have to split the cases to get it in there.   :unknown:
