| Close
up of the two |
| halves
of the rear main |
| seal
adaptors that I |
| machined
to replace |
| the
oil thrower used |
| in
older English engines. |
|
 |
| A
modern seal fitted to |
| the
input shaft of the |
| differential. |
|
| Behind
that shaft lurks |
| new
ring and pinion |
| gears
for an improved |
| rear
ratio. This allows |
| for
better highway speed |
| at
lower RPM's. |
|
 |
| Test
assembly of the |
| crankshaft
in the two |
| halves
of the crankcase |
| and
oil seal parts. Once |
| fitted
correctly, the parts |
| had
to be removed to |
| install
the flywheel and |
| do
final bolt in with |
| gasket
sealers. |
|
 |
| This
view shows the |
| front
and rear oil seal |
| installation. |
|
 |
| View
of the transmission |
| seal
to replace the old |
| oil
thrower (shown). |
|
 |
| The
tranny input shaft |
| oil
seal installed. |
|
 |
| This
shaft drives the |
| water
pump and comes |
| thru
the distributor |
| housing.
Shown is the |
| oil
slinger threads |
| being
machined to a |
| smooth
surface to mate |
| with
the seal (below). |
|
 |
| To
accommodate the |
| thickness
of a seal, |
| a
new cover was made |
| and
the seal installed (L) |
| The
RR cover is shown |
| at
right. |
