okay, this is all very familiar, really. at the classic, someone asked me
about an oil leak. all over the engine compartment, thought to be from the
pully area on a type I motor. the guy was from st louis and did not want to go
back with the thing leaking oil that bad. for some reason, he thought he had a
sand seal on the engine. he asked could it be changed without pulling the
engine and get him back to st louis. feelers went out. dick wakefield said he
had done it and could help. dick went and looked and determined that is was
not the sand seal pulley that was throwing oil but from something else. did
not find out what the "other" thing was. point is...guy from st lois thought
the same thing denis is decribing, maybe and some else looked and said no it's
not the pulley but some thing else. what did dick see that said, no, it's not
blowing oil from behind the pulley, it's something else? i was too busy to find
out the details.
terry, got any ideas? sound similar to denis' problem. just wondering, could
be totally wrong.

The question was “is there a seal?” Chuck kept talking about my sand seal.
Actually John was right: just the slinger ring. Don’t be fanning the flames
of a mud fight with me and Chuck, I got enough trouble in my family as it is.

<tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>ReplyTo: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] OK, about that oil
leak After this discussion and a call to an expert I have deduced that there
is no seal between the slinger ring and the crank pulley. I have a sand seal
there but it is, maybe, 8 years old and they can get a groove cut in them or
can start spinning with shaft and needs to be replaced. Apparently a real seal
is “machined” in, which I am certain mine is not. As Robb said my breather may
be involved or I ran too much oil or about a hundred other reasons. As soon as
the freakin’ rail stops, we have had more than 10” in four days, and I clean up
the flood damage, I will get at Murray’s engine and find out what is going on.
