No picture but from the price and
mention of a core charge you send in your old aluminum seal 
and get a
machined one in return along with the new Viton seal.
So it would be a kit in
that respect. 
When I dealt with Joe I just bought the seal and the centering
tool and did everything else myself.

Bob 
so the seal is not
a kit? 
i do have some accesses to a machine shop, but there is work to be
done and therefore its not a "bolt on kit" ????

I did mine two years ago.
I bought the seal from Joe Alexander as soon as I found out he was selling the
Marx seal. I probably have close to 1000 miles on it now and I am not getting
oil spots on the floor any more. Since I have a lathe I machined my old scroll
seal halves myself to accept the new seal. I don't know if my engine is unique
but I find the centering tools totally usless as once you snug down the
bearing cap the seal can't move in any direction anyway so it is basically
self centering. I had to grind the ends of the flywheel bolts slightly to make
sure they didn't hit the seal. So far I am satisfied and since it is totally
reversible I am out only the cost of the seal if it fails.

rear oil seal TR3
 

would love to hear testimony from those who have used the
"new" rear oil seal for the TR3 motors.
the one that does not require the
crank be machined.
