New Developments In Rear Crank Sealing

[Gfhug]

Steve, “acceptable weepage”?

As stated by a senior Rolls Royce engineer to a disgruntled American owner when he complained about oil weeping from the engine.

Hi Geoff...yes but that's what a correctly fitted rope seal does...and it dosnt cost £300 for the seal and around £300 odd to have the crank groung to fit....Steve

Ok Steve, so long as you promise to visit and correctly fit the rope seal for me

The alternate is that Rory will do all the work of fitting this new wonderful seal for me

Typically a leak at the rear is the rear sump seal...which does need care when fitting...Steve

Hi all,
just wanted to know if anyone has fitted the flexi-seal" from Rob Beere and is happy with it?

Cheers
Frank

Just completed my engine build using the stretch seal, will give an update as to its performance in due course

Hello Pat, any comments on the new seal, yet?

Thanks

Geoff
