Hi all
Not too long ago there was a thread regarding oil leaking from the
timing chain cover. I have almost completed a frame-up and am going to
reinstall the the motor after a number of years out of the car. The
motor ran perfectly fine when I removed it however after reading the
thread I am going to order the seal and a few other final parts this
weekend. (I keep saying that's all I have to order and still find more
things). I once read about a sleeve that can be inserted over the seal
to stop leaks or is it easier and more efficient to replace the seal.
Also, how much of a job is it to replace the seal??
A second question is about the rings. I turn the engine frequently but
is there a possibility any rings may have seized? Should I use any
special lubrication in the cylinders before a hopefully start the motor.
As always, any advice is always appreciated.
Thanks
