[TR] rear cap sealing

[Tony Drews]

Cut the felt strips into about 3/4" lengths, dip in indian head 
shellac or your favorite goop that will penetrate into the strips, 
shove in the hole, pound the crap out of it, rinse and repeat until 
overfull.  Cut off the top one with a sharp knife so it's fairly even 
with the oil pan surface.  Having it stand slightly proud of the 
surface is not a bad thing.
