I have been stopping oil leaks in my 76 for two years now. Slowly but surely I have plugged them up. The last leak was the rear seal. I pulled the engine and found that the seal was pushed all the way to the crank face of the seal plate, and the seal spring jumped off the seal lip and was laying on the crank. The previous owner said that he had rebuilt this engine. It has good compression, end play is .004 inch. Good compression, Runs smooth at 70 MPH.
Well I put a new seal in and all leaks were stopped for one month, now it is back worse than ever, 1 qt per 40 miles. I expect that the seal ring jumped off again. I am going to pull the engine and see if the crank seal surface has any runout. Any other suggestions while I have it on the bench? *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** *** unsubscribe/change address requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or try *** http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool *** http://www.team.net/mailman/listinfo *** Archives at http://www.team.net/archive *** Edit your replies!
