[Healeys] Rear main seal modification

[BJ8Healeys]

That may be true, Per.  The seal retainer halves are also stuck to the block
with a silicone-type sealant.  I was reluctant to force the seal halves out
and break that seal in case I couldn't remove them with the screws in place
and then not be able to re-seal the retainer.  I would like to hear from
someone who has positively removed the seal retainer that way.

 

Thanks for your input!

I think that when the screws are unscrewed you can just remove the seal seat
halves,  and the screws will come out as well. I don't think the screws are
longer than the distance between the block and the crankshaft flange
