[TR] Timing cover crank seal oil leak

[Rye Livingston]

I’ll go back to the original question. 

I converted to the thin fan belt, harmonic balancer pulley, no fan and went with an electric fan integrated in a Wizard aluminum racing radiator on my 1960 TR3A, and I don’t have any timing chain cover leak.  I used the gasket, along with some Permatex Black being oil resistant.  No issues.
