[Good job Richard, finally something more than /var/spool gobbledeogook
:-) ]
On the later engines the bush is just a short bush that slips into the
end of the crank quite easily. The earlier ones are twice as long and
take a more effort to get out. They are cheap and easy to replace.
I highly recommend having the flywheel resurfaced (less than $50
typically) and replacing the rear oil seal. There is a bit of
dismantling to do but nothing complicated. Just make sure when you
remove the rear seal housing that you make a note of the copper washer
for the top bolt. Be prepared to replace the oil pan gasket if you go
this route because the bottom of the rear seal housing shares a part of
that gasket and if any goop was used to stick the sump on, removing the
rear seal cover may well destroy the gasket at that location and you
will have to take the oil pan off and replace it. Then with the oil plan
off why not take a look at the oil pump, mains, thrust washers etc etc.
What about lubrication of the release bearing mechanism - how much, what
lube, where to apply ?

No bushing in the flywheel, but in the crank. If you are turning the
flywheel to lighten it, don't forget to have it ballanced. A freind w/
an AH 3000 had his lightened, but the machine shop didn't ballance
it....duh!
Please let this post go though.....
