Get rid of the timing cover that requires the felt seal and install one that
takes the rubber seal. BTDT .. Don't know the crank nut torque but it can
be done without raising the motor. Only wanted to do it once so I swapped
out timing covers.

Subject: [Spridgets] Oil Leaking From Front of 948 Engine
I've had an oil leak on the front of my 948 for a couple years now and it is
getting worse. Going to the 50th so I guess I better fix it. I don't think
it
is the pan or the timing cover gaskets. I think it is that cheesy felt
seal in
the timing cover for the crank. I have the felt seal to replace it.
The
service manual says I can remove the radiator and do the job without
having to
raise the engine. My question is, what is the torque for the crank
pulley
bolt? Also, if anyone has any helpful hints, I am open to them.
