REFLECTOR: crankshaft seal

[Scott Derrick]

My 520 has a retainer but it just helps hold the seal in place. If it 
did blow it sure wouldn't stop any oil from leaking.

My IO360 didn't have one... Not that others might have.

     The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public 
papers... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army 
of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be 
like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the 
ministers.
