So I was changing my crank seal after the rear vent tube puked transmission fluid all over my belt. I noticed it had been changed before and somebody butchered the removal. Didn't even have the decency to use the updated seal... I cleaned up the scoring on the bore with a plastic brush on the dremel. But I noticed that the retainer on the bearing has a burr on it. The burr is away from the bearing but I wanted opinions if this will kill the bearing in the long run. I'm not sure how these are packed, but I can shift the rollers from side to side with a small screwdriver and the retainer is loose-ish on top.  | ||

They're not really "packed"...they're lubed with engine oil pressure, hence the seal between it and the primary. My thought is, if you weren't hearing bearing noise from it...let it run for a while and keep an ear on it. | ||

Those bearings are what sets the end play on your crankshaft. The spacer locks them together, they are a press fit on crankshaft. Should be fine but hard to see in a small picture. | ||
