Hi,
=20
I wouldn=E2=80=99t invest into changing the crank to make the new seal =
version fit.
In your case it would be wise to stay with the lip seal which does fit =
at once.
=20
Cheers
Chris (the inventor of the new seal solution)

2/20
Good Evening All
I Am reaching out to all TR owners for your thoughts and advice =
concerning a decision I will soon need to confront.
=20
Several years ago I went in on a "pool purchase" led by Mordy D and have =
a beautiful billet steel Cower crank---built without the rear scroll and =
to the 2.50" dia. that was used at the time for the then new and =
improved "Lip Seal" I was planning on using.=20
=20
Fast forward to today and the really new Viton rear seal kit which I =
have purchased and would really like to use now that the engine is =
finally getting built. =20
=20
I am meeting with a couple of crankshaft specialists here in the Detroit =
Metro Area the first of the week to see if they think they can build up =
(with weld) the area that the scroll would have occupied and machine it =
back to match the stock crank configuration in order to use the Viton =
Seal. This leads me to ask two questions:
1) Has anyone had this done or heard of it being done and if so =
any cautions or suggestions or lessons learned?
=20
2) Has anyone tried to use the Viton Seal on a crank that has =
had the scroll machined off and what has been the end result of this =
experiment, or would it be better to just use the now old "lip seal" and =
tighten up the carrier and lip seal and shorten the spring a bit to try =
and grip the 2.50 diameter surface a bit closer.?
=20
Any thoughts, cautions, theories, etc any of you have or could share =
(either via the list or privately) will be most appreciated. I have a =
lot of cool things going into this motor build and really do not want to =
screw it up doing something I do not fully understand.
=20
Thanks,=20
