[TR] rear oil seal TR3

[Tony Drews]

To amplify the "crank diameter" problem - I have a (very expensive) 
crank with the "too small" diameter, made to the 0.020" undersize 
original dimension.  I shorten the spring for the seal to a little 
under 8" and I VERY CAREFULLY trim just a touch off of one end of the 
seal to make it's compressed diameter smaller.  I use a very sharp 
knife to do this.
