The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Threaded 2-piece crankshaft pulley

I have one on my '29, havent fired it yet. I put blue Loctite on the L/H threads so they wouldn't loosen when I tightened the crank nut.
I was going to use modern front seal, but where the hub runs in the seal, there are minute pits in the surface, even after polishing it. The pits would wear on the sealing lip of the seal, so I just went back to the rope seal. Bill W.
