Not too keen on my 1098s, but if it has the same 3 bolt crank seal thing a ma
bob, make sure that thing is dead flat and true to the block.
It is adjustable and often overlooked on rebuilds.
Sure it bolts on with 3 bolts but if it's off even a little, oil will leak
out.
I know 1275s have this piece.
Also look carfully for a crack in the backplate.
