Subject: [TR] TR3 Engine Rear Seal
Hi guys,
I know this has been discussed in the past but I'm stuck. I have the engine=
out and on a stand, upside down for good access. I got the no-machining se=
al from Moss and have the seal on, spring in place, and split oriented towa=
rds the top of the engine, but every time I try to set the crank back into =
the bearings the seal bunches up at the rear bearing cap joint. I had the =
end cap on, but not tight. I plan to remove the end cap, clean up the Perma=
tex, and try without the cap, hoping I can get the seal into place.
Am I missing something here?
Joe

'75 Spit (needs engine rebuild)
'58 MGA (in long term resto)
'67 Alpine (the driver)
'53 Sunbeam -Talbot (just back from engine rebuild)
'54 Sunbeam - Talbot (quietly awaiting attention)
'60 Hillman Minx (source of much frustration)
