I didn't like the gap between the starting handle shaft and the housing allowing all the road dirt and water thrown up by the preceding car to go into our RN engine. I turned the starting handle to 7/8" and bored the housing out and bushed it back to 7/8" , securing the bush with Loctite bearing fit. Do not go less than 7/8" or you can't get the spring in. In hindsight maybe I should have made provision for an O ring seal.
