Yes, the OD cross shaft seals have been an issue for sometime and some supp=
liers sold just o-rings as a solution which were less than adequate. The ac=
tual double lipped seal is best needed to keep from leaking-two o'rings mad=
e the shaft/solenoid work harder. If you want to keep leaks to a minimum th=
ese seals are the best choice. The intimating part of the replacement was t=
o drive out the tapered pin which could be difficult. When doing the lever =
side I put the 3/16" drill bit in the OD setting hole before driving out th=
e pin. Check carefully for taper before driving it out the wrong way. You w=
ill be glad you fixed these two leaking ends. Hank

Thanks for the input Craig. I'm still debating the flywheel; hopefully, my =
path will be apparent when I get the box out.
I'll be checking the bell housing bolts, and the input shaft for wear. I al=

Roger Moment's article (long story about the seller).

Re: Lightened Flywheels
Hi Bob: I absolutely love the extra power (perceived or actual) in my Heal=

ds and I'm using DW's damper on the front. The car has an upgraded cranksh=
aft and BN7 gearbox, so maybe that's kept it from flying apart. My BN7 w/B=
J8 cam has an alloy flywheel I got on eBay that I think weighs about 20 pou=
nds. It runs smooth as silk with no ill effects. I still can get occasion=
al run-on though, with lower octane fuel.
On the gearbox oil leaks, check the lower bell housing bolts which, at leas=
t on the side shifts, extend into the gearbox and can leak. Also, "Quad Ri=
ng" OD operating shaft seals are available from AH Spares, part 0VD185MS. =
I haven't tried them yet, but it seems like they would be an improvement ov=
er the single O rings generally used.
