Second, what is this piece in the photo? Need to know before I go much further so I don’t have to back track.

Third, what about this hole in the rear crank bearing cap? It’s threaded. Nothing in my box of parts looks like it should fit. Red marker pointing to hole in photo.

Top piece is the oil control groove sleeve that goes on after the the pulley is installed. I've never had a crank that didn't have this on it, so I'll defer to others on how to install.

The second pict, there is an approx. 3" tube was a spoon/mouth on the end that inserts in there. I'll try to take a picture of what it looks like on a cap. May not be until tomorrow.
