Hi Mike,
Memory is starting to work here!
One 1275 engine a customer had was a chronic oil leaker from the front pulley
seal. Replaced the seal, centered it, buttoned it up. Was back in a week,
leaking as bad as ever. Took it apart again only this time I looked really
close
at the pulley. It had a slight crack in the seal area by the keyway and had
trashed the new seal lip. Replaced the pulley and the seal again. Problem
solved.
On another engine I have here now, there are 2 nicks on the seal area on the
front
pulley. Needs a redi-sleve.
Sooooo, take a look at these areas when you take of the pulley and timing chain
cover. You might have done everything just fine, but the problem was elsewhere.
Good luck, Paul A
