    basicaly the cases i got one of the bearings is bollocksd and ive noticed they dont have the rubber seals in them either so ive ordered a new set and started to have a little read up on installing them and it says i need to measure how deep they were in before...wich i cant do as they arent in so does any one know the correct depth
    its an ac 125 new shape engine with a stock crank

    yes that is correct....

    the seal has to be far enough into the case so that it dont pop back out
    again from secondary crank case compression, but not so far in that it is actually rubbing on the bearing ;)

    125's sit flush,
    the 50's need to be in a certain depth.
