I know there have been discussions on oil leak from the rear of the engine.
However, in reading through the archives I found this inquiry:
When I rebuilt my AH3000 engine, I fitted an after market rear seal.
Unfortunately after I buttoned everything up and started the engine I
discovered a troublesome oil leak. So out came the gearbox, the clutch
flywheel and the engine back plate. Upon careful examination of the
rear seal, I can find absolutely no leak. However, there is oil weeping
from the bearing cap that holds the cam in place.
Is this normal? Can the bearing be replaced with the engine in the car?
Thanks,
Larry Swift
There were no responses to the inquiry. So can the cap that holds the cam
in place be removed while the engine is in the car. Could the cap be sealed
from the outside with todays technology of sealants? Also, according to the
external engine diagrams in the moss catalog it does not show the back of
the engine or the cap.
Looking for answers to my continued oil leak problems.
Regards,
Bob Begani
