After rechecking squish clearance, I then follow up with cutting the proper amount off of the base to get the final squish tolerance I desire.

I'll be watching. I've got all the parts and disassembled my 440 ready to go back together when works a bit quieter.
Is it easy to drive the seals in too far? I don't have a seal driver, is there a place the outer sides should sit flush with?
Great pics and nicely laid out thread

Yes you can go too far and the seals will come in contact with the ball bearings inside the races.
As well as if sticking out too far will come into interference with the flywheel and worm gear/clutch.
If you take note of their position before you take them out you can then reinstall to the same place with no problems.
