[TR] tr-3 rear motor bearing

[Gary Nafziger]

I've been happily driving my restored tr-3 for 2 driving seasons and am very happy with the motor rebuild.  It pulls strong and is a fun driver.  I have one problem with oil leaking.  I put in the new rear motor bearing fix but still get a significant leak after each run. (4-5 tablespoons)  
I'm pretty sure that I didn't pound enough soaked felt around the bearing when installing and my question is for those more experienced than I am:  Is it possible to pound more felt in from the bottom up rather than pull the engine?  I'm sure it would be a heck of a sloppy job if possible but I dread pulling an engine on a newly restored car.  Probably would simply deal with the leak and enjoy the car!Any ideas would help!
