when i reconned my crank i had it heat treated (not suggesting you do this)
& tiny piece of surface material popped off right where the seal runs. i had
to get the crank turned down by *i think* 7 thou.
it did leak a bit past the seal when first fitted, but is now pretty good.

Subject: Rear Seal Leakage
| OK, the Ambo is completely disassembled and I'm starting back up with the engine. Question for the group: The crank looks pretty good, there is some wear on the journals. I'll mic them Monday at work to get a better idea if I have to go undersize. I remember a thread about preventing the rear seal leakage. I can see where the seal has worn into the crank. If I have the crank journals turned, should I get the aft sealing surface turned to remove the wear groove. Will that make the seal better, or will the reduced diameter make it more leakage prone? Any other ideas to make sure this aft seal doesn't leak into my new clutch disks? 71 Ambo "Red Hair and Black Leather, my Favorite Color Scheme" |
