That's right. The engine was built in 2011, I noticed the seal issue in 2012 and fixed it then, but trash was probably floating around the engine for a while. I changed the oil frequently and generally babied the engine over the last 10 years but it didn't seem to matter.

There are probably some other issues that contributed as well, like clearances. Will take a closer look at the crank, but considering the overall shape of things it seems like a kit of fresh parts is the way to go.
