Sand seal on the pulley end of the crankshaft . . . lemme see what I am not seeing: I've pulled the pulley a few times . . .it mounts on a shaft which protrudes from the rear (rear is rear) of the engine. That end of the shaft doesn't seem to be loose or rattling around and I don't recall looking at it and thinking, "My what a big old sloppy opening around this shaft!"

Why don't you just say let john and I fight then lets see how wins.
Sorry I don't build performance engines and both my daily drivers are aircooled so stock works best for me. wait lets put it in my favor lets see who can build the best show car. the simple minds amaze me at times. Mario Vintage Werks restorations help keeping the joy alive |

Threads around the end of the pulley? Those throw the oil back into the case. A sand seal is a machined in seal that actually seals the space between the pulley and the case. -- John Willis (Remove the Primes before e-mailing me) |
