We went to a store and bought an aluminum turkey pan and some paper diapers. We flattened the pan and safety wired it under the rear of the oil pan and put an opened up diaper on top. once it was all secured against the drippy area, we raced with no problem. This was long before the newer rear crank seals were available. We eventually installed a crankcase vacuum system tied to the exhaust to create negative pressure in the engine to help stop the seeping.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="m_5918286643095712133yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1504089176382_5228"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div id="m_5918286643095712133yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1504089176382_5228"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Barry<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>On Tuesday, August 29, 2017 8:58 PM, Mordy Dunst via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" target="_blank">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</span><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>That is just so fricken Appalachian.
