Re: Rear main oil seal on 288 very tight

It's good to know that the seal should be quite tight initially . . . removes my concern about 'burning' the crank or having some other sinister outcome. The instructions said 'no grease' but mentioned using a little assembly lube so I used some molybdenum assembly lube on it and it does spin a bit easier, as now I can wrestle the crank around by hand. I'm happy with the result! Thanks for your comment Anthony.
