It's one of those embarrasing "fixes" I'm ashamed to admit to. Just like clearancing cam bearings with an old slotted cam, but if it works. smile

Seems to me after reading this that we are using the wrong seals.
If we can buy the correct bearings, rings, gaskets and other parts, why can't we get the correct seals.
Just can't see a mechanic or dealership putting up with this crap back in the day.
Never had a problem with the rope seal and white side seals as the engines were designed for.

believe it or not, after the seals started to leak "back in the day", it was just like some guys say about harleys : "they are just marking their territory".
