I read Tinman58's thread. I just started my rebuilt engine with the machined seal and it leaks pretty drastically.
It seems I have another issue as well. I placed a small, 4" dia. metal tray to catch the oil so I could tell if it was gearbox or engine oil. It is almost certainly engine oil, BUT there is also antifreeze dripping from the same spot. The antifreeze and oil do not appear to be emulsified. There is no indication on the dip stick or in the radiator that oil/water are mixing. I will drain some oil soon to insure that is not the case. Assuming that it is not, where else might this coolant be coming from? I've looked around very carfully and am pretty sure the coolant is not running along the engine someplace and just dripping off at the lowest point. The plug at the back of the head is NOT leaking. Is there some sort of water passage or freeze plug at the back of the engine behind the flywheel? Back to the first problem: Is there any known way to improve the oil seal once the crank has been machined?
Thanks in advance!
