Re: PA Engine - Oil seals etc.

Viv,

Your seal questions are easy to ask, but not so easy to answer  
without asking several more questions. You need to own, or have a  
friend who owns, a small lathe and a vertical milling machine and  
you'll probably get the jobs done for a case of beer or a bottle of  
Scotch, otherwise its going to be very expensive.

In my experience the most important seals are for the vertical drive  
shaft as they keep oil out of the dynamo. S&V will sell you a seal  
and carrier for an internal seal there if its never had one before,  
but I always put one on the outside of the vertical drive drain  
housing as well. The internal seal requires no machining but the  
outer one does as the "flinger" needs to be removed from the drive fork.

Seals can be installed on either end of the crankshaft but before I  
can suggest how you do it, I need to know what you have at the  
moment, and what you are aiming at !

Cheers, "Bob".
