I am about to install one myself. No experience with them but would also
like to know. The last standard one I installed only lasted 3-4 races and
started leaking badly. Improper installation -- incorrect end play ??
Thanks,

An interesting subject. Jack Wheeler sold me a seal retainer several years
ago for using (I think) a big block Chevy seal. I bought the seal, but never
got around to making the conversion.
I assume that everyone who is trying to install their conversion is having a
machinist turn the grooves off of the crankshaft? I heard from someone else
that Jack showed up at the Runoffs once with a serious rear seal leak. I
don't know if this happened before or after his conversion.
