Subject: [TR] Timing cover crank seal oil leak
I run a thin belt conversion and have an oil leak from the timing chain cov=
er. New seal at rebuild 2 years ago. Leaked from initial startup but now ge=
tting worse. I know about speedy sleeves and might try that. =C2=A0My quest=
ion is this. Has anyone else experienced excessive leakage while using the =
thin belt conversion? The Moss instructions imply that the seal rides on th=
e spacer installed behind the damper pulley. Has anyone found a double lip =
seal replacement to the standard supplied seal and if yes do you have a ref=
erence P/N?=C2=A0Thanks and Merry Christmas. The New Year has to be better =
than 2020.=C2=A0JVV** triumphs@autox.team.net **
