It=E2=80=99s not really, they are just telling you how to do it wrong. I =
assure you installing one of my seal kits is way easier that the JB Weld =
route. The JB Weld route requires drilling dozens of holes in the main =
cap and half moon piece=E2=80=A6 it=E2=80=99s cheaper, but it=E2=80=99s =
not pretty and certainly not easier. As I said, if it doesn=E2=80=99t =
work (and it doesn=E2=80=99t for everyone) you now have a worthless and =
unusable main cap and half moon.
The Minimania kit discards the scroll seal entirely. You can=E2=80=99t =
really tell in the video, because it=E2=80=99s hidden behind the crank =
flange, but the aluminum half moon or =E2=80=9Ceyebrow=E2=80=9D as some =
call it, leaves a 1/4" diameter gap above the crank scroll. The reason =
for the bevel he points out is so it will clear the oil slinger behind =
the scroll. Other than the external cosmetic similarity, my design is =
very different functionally. It=E2=80=99s also made better, and is US =
made. Besides restoring the origin clearance spec without any machining, =
there are other features that make the installation of mine more =
positive by better retention of sealant and 100% positive registration =
of the seal holder. Those are two other areas where the other falls =
short.
