quote="sarals"]Jensen, Graham, thank you!
Oh, my frustration "displays" are nothing to behold. I might grimace, utter something unlady-like, and then walk away - sometimes for a long while! It does take a calm mind and focus to work on anything mechanical, at least for me it does. If I'm not there, I stay away.
One thing about that seal. It doesn't contact the crankshaft....the starter gear fits inside it. I'll take your advice to heart, Jensen, about how to install it, and I've few other sage words of advice from a good man in Texas, as well. I'll use it all! With great appreciation! Also, I would much prefer to install the seal with the cases split, I did that with the original seal. This time time, though, I am just not going to split those cases - again!
The engine is covered, as well - it wasn't for the photo, because I had just finished doing some work on it. I think like you - if it is open, dirt will enter!
Graham, I'll probably remove that clutch cover and repaint it - and the primary drive cover, too. This time I'll used the 66 Autocolor paint rather than that...ummm...Duplicolor.
Finally -
EVERYONE -
Happy New Year from this Little Blonde Gal!
