Crankcase Solution wanted!!!
Dear Freinds!
As my engine is in grinding shop and I want you help me with some tips to take into account. I attach some pictures 1) I noticed that in return oil hole is "blocked" am I right? The crankcase picture I mean 2)I found some picture from "Project Flathead" I want to know if where the rear main bearing oil seal can be replaced with another thing instead of packing? I want to avoid oil leaking from crankcase Is this possible? Please I will appreciate your suggestion. Harylufa

Re: Crankcase Solution wanted!!!
That is meant to be blocked like that UNLESS you're running the bypass filter setup, in which case that hole is opened up and the return line from filter plumbed into it.

Re: Crankcase Solution wanted!!!
I believe the rear "slinger" seal that really isn't a seal is what it is. Now the front seal can be done better, i got one and it is quality. But I forgot it and put the rope seal back in, they work great also.

Re: Crankcase Solution wanted!!!
The rear seal in your picture looks like the BEST brand, that is the best seal you can get. instructuons are usually with this seal on how to install it. Smear a thin coat of RTV on the end of the seal over the aluminun seal retainer before installing the rear main cap. The one piece front seal works good, just make sure the seal wear sleeve on the crank is not worn a belley in it where the seal rides. Walt

Re: Crankcase Solution wanted!!!
Just backing up what Walt is saying, the picture you are showing is an improved front seal, there is no one piece replacement for the rear seal.
The fitting in the side of the oil pan needs to be drilled through if you want the bypass filter to work. Mart. |

Re: Crankcase Solution wanted!!!
Mart, I think you'll find that the round button inside the oil pan has a slot on the bottom for the oil to return. Walt

Re: Crankcase Solution wanted!!!
Ah! thanks Walt, I wondered why it had an oil fitting in it but no apparent means of oil return.
Hary, you need to check that there is a means for the oil to pass through that fitting back into the oil pan. Mart. |

Re: Crankcase Solution wanted!!!
Harylufa, my recommendation is to use the original type seals both front and rear. They are time tested for many miles, and when installed properly will outlast the newer front ring type seal. They have worked for the last 65 years just fine. The side drain for the oil line has a small port on the under side. Blow some compressed air through it of it has become plugged.
Some time ago you sent me a private message asking about your valve situation, to which, I responded. Did you receive my response? |

Ah ok, that is my doubt because I saw new seal that go between oil pan and timing cover It is 91A-6700 part. I attach a picture below. I read over there that this is better, what do you think? Concerning valves I received and I took note about you mentioned, after this I will back asking about adjustable lifter so I can set the valve well. The engine had non regulable lifter. but I decided to disassembly the engine cause of the temperature. Such result was sediment stacked. Finally the engine ended in grinding shop. This man need some information such as seal in different part like oil pan, front and rear. We think that how to avoid leaking oil because my engine always had leaked oil. I hope to be clear for you Thanks

Thank for you response. I thought that new seals were better, but It seems installing original rope seal will work fine. Thanks

I show in picture that this passage is tight and not move at all. A copper tube came from filter oil. This is the first time I see this in 15 years, my doubt was this was right. Thanks

Re: Crankcase Solution wanted!!!
Hary,
Take a real good look at the round part in the image above. There should be a small passage for the oil to flow through. See if air will blow through it. try removing the brass fitting for a better look. If it is really blanked off, you will need to drill through it. I would suggest a small hole 1.5mm, but this should be discussed here before you just do it. I must say, if that piece does have a hidden passage, then I would expect to see at least some staining of the sump where the oil has flowed down from it. Mart. |

Re: Crankcase Solution wanted!!!
Walt, We need help--8BA engine with Best rear main seals, after several attempts by my friend to seal this rear main leak, he got me involved. I would like to know your procedures for installing this seal. Does the pan gasket go between the top and bottom seals or do you cut it a little short, do you put silicon sealer on the rope ends? We are at a loss for solutions to this problem and need an experts help.
