These seals on the 6 cylinder cars are acutally a secondary rear main =
seal. The original scroll seal is still there. Usually if there is a =
leak after installing the aftermarket rubber seal it is not the main =
seal. It is usually something else. =20
To leak 2.5 quarts of oil in 100 miles is major. I would be looking at =
other places first. Get some UV oil dye from the local parts store and =
put in the oil. Then look to see where it is actually coming from.
Oil flex hose to gauge, rear of valve cover, etc. Also have seen them =
leak along the side of the rear main cap to the block, if they are not =
sealed up correctly.
If it is the rear main leaking that much oil the seal will never stop =
it. You probably had to little clearance on the rear scroll and the seal =
surface is damaged.

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.
=20
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.
=20
Has anyone had a failure using this seal conversion kit?
