I could have converted twice. And if I kept the Bendixes, I'd still have recurring ADs! So I gave in and converted to Slicks. No AD's and loose a few lbs of ugly fat to boot! As far as the nose seal goes, not to much to say. It's a little tight, but there's plenty of room to do the job. The trick is to clean the bore in the case real good, then juggle adhesive on the outside and lubrication on the seal side. Make sure the spring is correctly positioned, and the spring "joint" doesn't align with the seal joint, and the seal joint is at 10:00 or 2:00 (o'clock). Start the joint in a little ahead of the rest so that it gets forced together. Seems to me there's a slinger on the crank behind the seal that should keep the majority of the oil away from it. Make sure the oil has a way to drain back from the back side of the seal. Lastly, excess crankcase pressure will make it leak.
