So upon closer investigation now that I’ve got the Engine off the stand and I can see the end of the crank, there is a pilot bushing in there, so this engine probably came backed to a manual originally. But I will replace the bushing anyways since I have it.
Look up " the bread trick" for removing the pilot bearing/bushing

bread, wet pieces of paper towel or news paper. your just using hydraulic pressure to push the bearing out.
^^^ I tried it with bread just cause. Crazy how well it worked.
It also provides you with a snack after you are done
Ithonestly did turn into a snack for Splash in my garage, a couple of times (RIP sweet girl
) It was kind of funny to watch her gnawing at the end of the crank after she snarfed down the bits I missed that hit the floor.
