[TR] Timing cover crank seal oil leak

As I said, CUT IT OUT !

 

Obviously I agree with one of you two, but this is the Triumph chat page for goodness sake.  We need to police our chat page and keep it to the subject on which we are all in agreement – our lovely old cars.

Do not make this political. Hope however that you enjoyed the best economy we have had in for many years and one of the lowest employment rates ever for our country plus no wars and some Middle East peace never achieved before.

I run a thin belt conversion and have an oil leak from the timing chain cover. New seal at rebuild 2 years ago. Leaked from initial startup but now getting worse. I know about speedy sleeves and might try that. 

 

My question is this. Has anyone else experienced excessive leakage while using the thin belt conversion? The Moss instructions imply that the seal rides on the spacer installed behind the damper pulley. 

Has anyone found a double lip seal replacement to the standard supplied seal and if yes do you have a reference P/N?

 

Thanks and Merry Christmas. The New Year has to be better than 2020.
