Re: Wicked Oil Leak - Sage Advice?
Ross, just a thought. If the bean can from the starter bendix is missing, that is supposed to make oil suck from the rear main. I can't remember any solid detail on this. I'm 60 now, My dad sold his V8 when I was 10. I seem to recall that that was the cause of his rear main leak. Any one else know about this?
The picture shows the removeable seal carrier (dog turd, or rope seal type)
The earlier one is a narrow slot that a slinger flange swings in. If you want to upgrade to the rope seal, it requires that the second flange on the crank is ground away to form a smooth seal track.
There is an upper and lower piece about $10.00 each from Vanpelts.
The info I lack is what year had what.
