[Fot] TR4 rear main seal

[CHIP COLLINGWOOD]

Jim,
 
Curious why you would put main bearings in a motor that you race or exert
more than a street car without having the crank checked for out of round or
the block for alignment. My experience has taught me that the main and rod
bearings take a set to the crank and that putting a set of new bearings on
an unchecked crank is a recipe for disaster.
