My first support design. I figure something like this should damp vibrations enough. This is easy since I don't have a distributor.

Meanwhile, I got a new oil seal (and spare) for the crank end. These are Erling, for those keeping score.

I popped out the old seal, and discovered another potential leak.

The case seam in the seal recess is not even at the bottom. You can see a small raised edge, that is obvious by feel. The top is fine.

The case seam in the seal recess is not even at the bottom. You can see a small raised edge, that is obvious by feel. The top is fine. Axially? I am not sure if I would be concerned with this. Did you get the oil pump straightened out? Yes, the offset was axial. I was concerned that the small step would keep the rubber on the outside of the seal from seating in full contact and could weep oil. |

Time to start putting things back together. First I dressed the outside sealing surface of the fan hub with some 800 grit.

Then I got the seal ready to install, with a bit of grease on the sealing lip.

Then a couple of dabs of gasket sealant in the seal recess on the case seams.

Turns out my PVC pipe wheel cap tool is the right size for seating the seal.
