List: what is the general consensus about replacing rear oil seal conversions?
I have a smallmouth TR3 which is pulling well way past the 5500 rpm mark, so
rather than risk a failure of a 60 year-old cast iron connecting rod, I think I
will pull the engine and install steel rods. I had thought about a steel
crank, but the 4-cylinder engines have a remarkably robust crank (and money
does become an option). The car has many upgrades, and I really should have
gone with steel rods originally.
Anyway, the engine has the Moss rear oil seal conversion (with the machined
crank). Should the seal be replaced as a matter of routine? The engine only
has about 2000 miles on it.
