May we point out, that owing to the thickening of the flange at rear of shaft, the difficulties encountered when assembling the crankshaft complete with flywheel, will be amplified, also the heads of the flywheel bolts are only just clean of touching the Rear End Cover of the Crankcase.

The clearance with Balance Weights at various points is also very small.
