New build and have her running on a test bed/rolling cart for engine/trans installation. All seems tight with the exception of the rear main area. Short of dis assembly or slathering the cam plug and oil gallery plugs with sealant, has anyone tried pressurizing the oil system and visually looking for a leak? Everything looks ok, but she drips every 4 or 5 seconds when running.
Thanks in advance |

Forgive the simple question, but is the o-ring installed in the rim of the flywheel? It’s often overlooked… and no bueno for leaks…

Forgive the simple question, but is the o-ring installed in the rim of the flywheel? It’s often overlooked… and no bueno for leaks… Yes, new O ring, thanks for the reminder New seal is made by Elring I have a couple old flywheels laying around, I am thinking to machine the center hub off, bolt it up to the crank and pressurize the system with 70 psi of shop air through the pressure sender. Hopefully seeing will be believing Thanks to all for the replies, I am seeing this is not uncommon |
