Hello list:

Wondering if any list members have converted the rear main seal on the wet
sleeve enginges to the "modern" lip seal available from Moss and TRF?  I
have been told installing this seal does require machining the crank.  Is
this a worthwhile conversion?  Asking if it does produce a leak free rear
main and it is worth the expense and work.

Maybe I should learn to live with the drips?  Or, as Greg Petrolati says,
just a way of our cars marking their territory.

BTW, if any list members got to the Bronte British Car Day in Ontario
Canada, quite a show!  Had to be at least 1000+ cars there.  Counted at
least 15 TR3's and a TR2 with commission no. 29!! was on display as well.
The number of TR6's in attendance was amazing. Excellent show and day.

Thanks,
