Ok... So... After tossing this around some more I decided to disassemble the engine and rethink the construction.... and now I see how the manufacture figured this one out. What they are doing is butting the second half of the crankshaft up against the rear half of the front bearing inner race and basically using that as a lock so to speak which holds the crank firm and with out end play ( in and out ) While still leaving enough room on the rear bearing so it does not crush. The washer behind the prop hub is basically a spacer to make sure the front bearing inner race is seated up against the second half of the crankshaft. Soooooo.... Yes I was over reacting !!! Case solved.... Sorry Pe !!! Just couldn't see it with out taking it all apart again and looking at it real good.

Cheers !!
