Default Re: Rear Block Babbitt

I do not understand the 2nd pic. If the cap is cocked as you show against the "seal" something is seriously wrong. I take it you know the pic is not a rear main cap? The oil groove is wrong, but will probably work for awhile anyway, the A is forgiving. Use search for the late Herm Kohnke posts. Artistry. Basically, a properly restored rear main will not leak more than a few drops. Get measuring instruments and prussian blue to trace the bind.
