Can't figure out this damned oil leak
Well we installed the new seal last night, with a little bit of black rtv on the back side. Let it sit all night and then fired it up this morning. No leaks!
I haven't been able to run it up to temp. yet as I am waiting on a new bottom radiator hose, but I am optimistic!
Here are some fuzzy shots of the seal, with the lip facing outward. It never got caught on any part of the damper going in, so no nicks. I sanded down the damper with #1000 sandpaper in case there were any burrs that might cause a problem. I should be able to take it to TNT in a week. If all goes well, next race is Oct. 8th.
