Perhaps it was never quite properly aligned, or perhaps it wasn't sufficiently tightened? or it's worn out. I don't know; I'm kinda guessing here. Seems odd now that I think of it, but in over 40 years of playing with these silly little cars, I've never had to take one of the engines that far apart!

From all that I read and look at and try to understand, there is no separate rubber / silicon / rope / whatever seal; the early style housing is the seal. The only wood I know of is the two little shim pieces that wedge into the front sealing block. (Kinda hard to believe that those little "filler pieces" actually have Stanpart numbers...but I digress!)
But since it's possible for the big TR guys to update their scroll seals to a modern type, it certainly must be possible for the "SC" (small car) gang to be able to do the same!
