Question is that when I have primed the motor by hand I see a considerable amount of oil weeping past the washer and the hold down itself. The shafts themselves are new so I am ruling out of round issues. I have the shafts torqued to 30lbs. The washers are flat and the top of the holddowns are flat, just concerned with the amount of oil weeping out. Not that I want to jury rig anything, is there a sealant eg: halomar or something that I can put beneath the washer or am I asking for trouble?
