Bob,
I have installed this kit on 3 big healeys, and similar ones on 4 TR3/4's,
and a AH 100.
It has worked as advertised on all.
I have the "no machine work required" on a 5th TR3 I rebuilt last year, and
that one seems to be working just fine

Subject: [Healeys] 6-cylinder Rear Crankshaft Oil Seal Conversion Kit
When we rebuilt my BJ8 Engine I bought the Oil Seal from Moss and my
machinist friend installed it. I am confident he did a good job drilling and
tapping holes etc. I had hoped that I would not have rear crankshaft oil
leaks. In the past year I have driven the car a little over 1,000 miles 25
miles at I time and recently noticed those infamous oil spots on the
driveway. Today I visited my British Car friends at Tech Central in Bonita
Springs a 100-mile round trip on I-75 nonstop at 65-75 mph. Fortunately, I
carried 2.5 quarts of oil because I had to use it to fill the crankcase when
I got there and had to add 2.5 quarts when I got home. In addition, I
notice the clutch slipping in 4th gear in overdrive if I accelerated. No
doubt caused by oil on surface of the friction plate.
When I got home the weep hole in the transmission bell housing was producing
one oil drop every three seconds and when running the engine at fast idle
one drop of oil every second.
Has anyone had a failure using this seal conversion kit?
