[Healeys] Overdrive rebuild - how to get rid of the oil leak on the operating shaft?

[Tadeusz Malkiewicz]

Hello Larry,

 

I actually thought of using Loctite 518 to seal the surfaces - Hylomar is
not quite available here in Poland..

 

What do you think?

Tedek,  I see no one has replied to your question.  I am assuming your
talking about the two body halves.  Hylomar is used to seal the metal to
metal mating surfaces of the housing halves.  The secret to Hylomar is to
not put it on too thin and let it dry completely.  Apply it to both surfaces
and add additional amount to any area that looks too thin after it dries
completely.  It can't be too dry because it never hardens completely.

I hope this helps.

Many thanks for all replys - the OD is being rebuild - is there anything
special about sealing it?
 
Thanks, Tadek

There are 'O' rings on both ends. Replace both.
 
However, these points rarely leak. Look for another source, like the plug on
 
the operating valve.
