[Fot] [TR] Timing cover crank seal oil leak

[Phil Gott]

Jerry;
We run a narrow belt on both cars. In both cases the damper puller housing extends into the timing cover to mate up against the slinger washers. No problem using the stock oil seal. We have had some leakage out between the crankshaft spigot and the pulley. Perhaps via the Keway. and the fit between the pulley and spigot is a little worn, so we assemble it with some rtv. No leaks.
I wonder if you have eliminated the slinger washers, and if the joint between the spacer and damper coincides with the lip seal interface. 
Merry Christmas!!!
