The original arrangement was well designed with virtually no chance of causing problems. Yes I used some SMF to replace it Pardon my dumb question, what is SMF?

lotus54 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I’ve had to replace the crank seals on all my Vintage OSSAs. Easy to do (unless issues taking the primary drive off). I have a crankcase leak detector setup (Moton Pro I think) that makes finding air leaks really easy. Generally, it will smell noticeably different if it is burning gearbox oil.
