I have found some other issues to make me never deal with Stanton Racing ever again. I don't even have the pistons I was told were being used.... they did install a .010" shim under the block side of the seal. However they are using Felpro seals. I've also discovered rod bearing scoring on 6 of 8 rods. This motor only has a 1000 miles on it at best. With the oil and filter changed twice in that time. The piston installed and the ones I was told was installed are 1 full point of compression lower. I.e.... I'm at 9.5-1 instead of the 10.2-10.5 I was told it would be. Just a very bad experience.

I have a bare block I am going to be using for a project and would definitely like to know what Identification marks your block has on it. I doubt ID marks are going to tell you anything ... put a seal cap in the block and it should be fairly easy to see if it's off. running up my post count some more .

That may be one of the great contributors to the leak. Installing a shim on the back side of the seal thinking it's going to reduce the lip I.D. for a greater interference fit on the crank surface is misguided at best. That's like taking a .010" under crank and using standard bearings with a .010" shim behind them thinking your going to cure the clearance problem...... AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! Get out your magnifying glass and tell me the numbers/letters that are molded into the seal lip area please.

Have you checked to see if the crankcase is running in a vacuum at idle and cruise? A couple of suggested band-aids. Use a mechanical vacuum pump and get a custom made diaper with absorbent. Change the absorbent when needed.
