I have been assuming for the longest time that my rear main oil seal on my crankshaft was leaking because I always have a little driblet of oil on the weep hole in the bottom of my bell housing. Now that I have everything apart, I noticed that the front of my old flywheel was dry as a bone and yet the inside of the bell housing is nice and moist with oil. Hmmmm. I tipped the tranny up on it's end and an hour later, oil. Now, I did indeed drain the thing overnight before removing it but there is always some residual oil left inside. And, in the photo you see what I discovered. It was my front oil seal and gasket. Slow me down! I had to call Moss and get them to rapid-ship so I can get back on this next Friday.
The good new, is I got the primer coat on my new floorboards, finally. Tomorrow, I will put the finish coat (Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Black) with a brush. It will all be covered with carpet.
Also, I drilled a 1.75" hole into both front rocker end plates and with a strong flashlight was able to see that there was only surface rust. My custom-made brushes work, I am coating the insides with Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator paint. I have used this on various parts of the frame over two years ago and it works!
You can get a glimpse of the aluminum flywheel on the back of the engine. Also, in the bottom right, the only SnapOn tool I own, my torque wrench.
