there are a couple of good pictures on photobucket.com/ambro CVS-T34 &
CVS-TR3 2
this has been around for a very long time with stock cars and dragsters.
components are readily available from Jegs, Summit, etc. add hi-temp
silicone hose.
featured in Kas' newest book....another reason for acquiring this book.
technical articles claim improved piston ring sealing.
15 years ago we installed and immediately had dry undercarriage.
very tidy alternative to engine venting.

we had one guy metalize his crank and put the scroll lines in the crank back
in.
i suspect that metalizing and grinding back to OEM only will get the job done
with the VITON SEAL.
Of course I am a believer in the vacuum system, too.
Thanks Jim

Can you use Chris' seal without the scroll? I'm a big fan of the Viton seal.

Metalize seal diameter and regrind to OEM dimension and install Christian
Marx' VITON SEAL.
Install vacuum system to crankcase, if you have not already.

I have had my share of machine shop disappointments over the years but this
one
hurt. I had two stock crankshafts cryo treated and reground with the
intention
of building a lower rpm motor using Larry Young's camshafts and replacing the
crank in my son't TR4 racecar. At the time the machinist I had been using
went
out of business and I tried a guy that had been recommended by a couple of
Spitfire guys in my local club. Long story short, he screwed up the grind on
the
scroll seal and overcut it. I put the crank in the TR4 and trimmed the seal a
little bit but the car leaks too much oil. Not very scientific, I know but I
was
desparate. Before I start experimenting has anyone found on oversize split
seal,
or split a seal on their own and could offer advice? I'd hate to throw two
cranks in the metal bin.
