The reed block houses the center main, mounted on the center journal of the crankshaft, sandwiched between the crankcase halves.

Number 9 are the reeds, which are screwed to number 5, the reed block/main bearing, which goes around the centre of the crankshaft. If you need to replace them, it's a full engine disassembly.
