Wiard,
Boy! You sure picked up quickly on this product announcement!
Christian's crank seal design process has been very thoughtful. There is
no reason why it should not work. It also avoids the need/cost to grind the
crankshaft.
Christian has invested in tooling to produce this seal and the first
production run is complete.
Two of the Viton Seals are coming to the U.S. for testing in TR3/TR4 race
engines. Christian expects success as the scroll seal is followed by the
Viton Lip Seal.
Redundant Engineering, if you will.
The current plan is to produce a low cost alignment tool and include it in
the Installation Kit. This tool design has been completed and only needs to
be released to production here in Iowa. The alignment tool will be offered
for sale on it's own, so everyone can have one in their tool box....at a low
cost. It can be used for both the OEM seal and the Combination Scroll/Viton
Seal.

For a number of my own reasons, I have always used the OEM crank seal. I am
looking forward to using Christian's new seals. Care in installation
remains paramont, but the Viton Seal should be more forgiving.....and should
catch that last frustrating drip. Proper ventilation on race engines will
remain important, in any case. (Key Words: Crank Case Evacuation)
