Erik,
No problem, glad to help - I wish I had better news for you. On these motors, as soon as a seal's outer shell makes 100% contact with the case metal, you should be good to go. Your bearing cage is probably fine, but obviously check it once the seal's off.
When I was rebuilding my MR motor (nearly identical crankcase), I took photos of everything right after it came apart, which came in real handy later on. The pocketed bearings and seals were no big deal, but the unpocketed ones - especially the RH countershaft bearing - were a different story.
The LH crank bearing cage came apart on my CR, it's a miracle the crank didn't punch it thru the cases. I never did find the rivets.
