Does anyone believe in staying with the original aluminum crankshaft seal on TR3-4A's anymore? When properly set up aren't they virtually drip free? It's an old design used for at least a decade. Is

I'm in the process of a rebuild and my alluminum oil seal looked like an old man with his teeth out. The fact that the crank shaft is steel and meshes with aluminum does not bode well for long life,

I certainly have made the factory setup work well, even on my National racing TR3 (my street TR3A was a snap) If the seal is working, do not mess with it, but read the workshop procedure. The TR2/3 a

Hi Carl I would stay with the original scroll seal, as long as it has not had contact or wear from the crankshaft. Centering the seal with the mandrel is critical, as the annular clearance must be co
