2 Piece Chevy Rear Seal
Could one of our expert Model A engine builders explain what needs to be done to the block and/or the crankshaft to install the 2 piece chevy rear seal. I have a pressurizer oil system and would like to eliminate the constant oil drip at the rear seal.

The crank needs to be enlarged in the seal area, and machined smooth. A new rear aluminum piece needs to be installed in the block and the cap needs some machining. You can also use the 1-piece Burtz seal, I like it better but it requires some mods too.

Re: 2 Piece Chevy Rear Seal
Dan McEachern manufactures a kit to install the Chevy small block seal in Model B engines. I emailed him a couple months ago regarding developing something similar for the Model A engine. He said it is on his list to develop something. I did not ask as to a timeline.
His seal kit for the "B" engine works very well. I hope he makes it happen! Good Day! |

I second your advice regarding the Terry Burtz rear seal....for the B engine. I've run one in a Russian B for a dozen years+ now and no leak of oil whatsoever . Also, Terry is a member here, so a guy can converse directly with him for advice/questions regarding use of equipment that he developed ! Also, have one in a second B without any oil leak, Anyone who knows, will tell a guy that the 'secret' is to get it done right first time ! |
