Triumph List,
Of course, there is more to TR engine leaks than the rear seal.
Kas' newest book contains an entire chapter on avoiding engine leaks and this
chapter is worth the purchase by itself.
Kas' book includes a discussion on Chris Marx VITON SEAL version and the
change in the dimensions on the factory centering tool.
The development and distribution of the Marx Viton Seal has been a cooperative
effort, including support from Kas..
Any one going to THE MITTY can see a sample of the MARX VITON SEAL and
installation instructions, along with the new centering tool.
We will also have Kas' newest book for sale, with Kas available for signing.
Just come to the TRIUMPH PADDOCK.
At the end of the day: You will want to track down every possible leak on
your wet sleeve engine, as it mostly migrates to the rear where the rear seal
gets the blame. You will want to ensure that your engine has all of the
crankcase ventilation it can have...with an engine that is in specification.
Then, if you rebuild the engine, you will want to use the Marx Viton Seal kit.
Those that have covered all of the bases have a leak free engine. You dont
have to grind the crank, VITON is superior seal material, and you get the
corrected centering tool dimensions.
