I have to check the crank seal and bypass cover gasket because I think I have a vacuum leak.

I 'm having trouble getting this open because there is a ring on top of the crankcase cover under the

ignition area. Any ideas how to open this up? I sit press fit on?

thanks!!!!

I think you need to remove the flywheel and some stuff that is around it, basicly to remove it,every thing has to go, to get to it
