Bill,
RE. felt seal. Yes Moss claims to provide it in the kit. No they don't.
Bought a gasket set for a "B" which had no front oil seal included. Bought
one for the "A" and it had the "B" seal. I advised Moss for what it's worth.
Being both the current andDPO of my '57 (had it that long , skills and
knowledge improving), and recently having seen the inside of my timing chain
cover, I can tell you that the DPO belived the part around the seal was
removable while the current owner knows better. Since time and season are
pressing, I carefully removed the existing felt seal , soaked it in oil and
tried to reshape it to reduce the i.d. to approximately correct size on the
theory I could do no harm and it would not let out any more oil than it had
last year which was livable. I was disapointed that I did not receive the
correct seal, but it's time to get driving.
