I am confident he did a good job drilling and tapping holes etc. I had hoped that I would not have rear crankshaft oil leaks. In the past year I have driven the car a little over 1,000 miles 25 miles at I time and recently noticed those infamous oil spots on the driveway. Today I visited my British Car friends at Tech Central in Bonita Springs a 100-mile round trip on I-75 nonstop at 65-75 mph. Fortunately, I carried 2.5 quarts of oil because I had to use it to fill the crankcase when I got there and had to add 2.5 quarts when I got home. In addition, I notice the clutch slipping in 4<sup>th</sup> gear in overdrive if I accelerated. No doubt caused by oil on surface of the friction plate.</span></div><div class="yiv6970376941MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="yiv6970376941MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;">When I got home the weep hole in the transmission bell housing was producing one oil drop every three seconds and when running the engine at fast idle one drop of oil every second.</span></div><div class="yiv6970376941MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="yiv6970376941MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;">Has anyone had a failure using this seal conversion kit?</span></div><div class="yiv6970376941MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="yiv6970376941MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;">Bob Begani</span></div><div class="yiv6970376941MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="yiv6970376941MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;"> </span></div></div></div></div><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;"><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;"><br>_______________________________________________<br></span></span><div><br></div><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;"><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;">Support Team.Net <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br></span></span><div><br></div><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;"><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;">Suggested annual donation $12.75<br></span></span><div><br></div><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;"><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;"><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys">http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys </a><a href="http://autox.team.net/archive" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/archive">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br></span></span><div><br></div><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;"><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;"><a href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br></span></span><div><br></div><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;"><span size="2" data-mce-style="font-size: small;" style="font-size: small;"><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/healeyguy@aol.com" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/healeyguy@aol.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/healeyguy@aol.com</a><br></span></span><div><br></div></div></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
