[TR] rear oil seal TR3

[Frank Fisher]

it was me who started this thread.
we have rebuilt a friends motor and used the normal supplier modern rear oil 
seal. machined the crank etc.
after only a hundred miles we have found an oil leak from the rear of the motor. 
dripping from the bottom of the bell-housing.
we question whether we hammered the rear camshaft seal place in good and proper. 
and if we sealed it properly.
my plan is to pull the transmission and inspect. as best as one can because im 
sure its pretty messy back there.
maybe we can clean up, put the flywheel back on and run the motor for a few mins 
and see if oil turns up. yes ill be sure to block and secure the back of the 
motor.
we have new crank and cam seals ready if needed.
I'm sure replacing the rear crank oil seal would be a real PIA, but my question 
is can it be done. or is it for some reason just impossible?
we have the pressure relief holes machined properly.

Don,

It leaked badly, and then we learned that the machine shop neglected to put
the pressure relief holes in the rear cap.  Everything else was re-checked
and is in perfect spec. 

Now is only leaks moderately, I did not give away my bag of oil-dri.

Bill 
Are saying the "modern MOSS oil seal" leaked and had to be replaced?
Thanks
Don
