Just finished my build using Ritter XR steel block. While checking vitals I noticed what seemed to be oil leaking from rear main seal. This seal was expensive and I didn’t expect to have any leaks there. Any ideas?
No I didn’t. So which crankcase vacuum pump did you use? The only way to change the seal is to remove the crank right?Had the same issue with mine, even removed the seal and replaced with the dry sump seal since the wet sump one is on back order or no longer made. Put a crankcase vacuum pump on mine and solved the problem. Did you open up any vent holes in the can galley?
Nope its a two piece o ring style rear main seal, only thing you can do is on the rubber part put the split going into the eigine. This is what it looks like. Like the R3 block I've heard.Can you offset the seal like we do on other small and big block Mopars so the split isn’t flush with the block.

I did try that at first but for my application it did not work, but could work for his, hard to tell, or can run the setup that welds onto your collectorsI installed an evac system on my engine. Two aspirator valves with hoses to two breathers. Worked great and did not need to use a pump.
The aspirator valves I used do thread onto pipes welded at a 45 degree to the collectorI did try that at first but for my application it did not work, but could work for his, hard to tell, or can run the setup that welds onto your collectors

Vacuum pump would likely be the only alternative.He has a turbo motor, it's not going to work.
Think he was and I was suggesting the exhaust one for Oris, not myself unless Oris also has a turbo motor. Without the vent holes in the is tunnel, the OP best bet would be a vacuum pump and weld a fitting to the fuel block off plate and pull the pressure out that way from the crankcase. Not sure his full set up.He has a turbo motor, it's not going to work.
Ah, if that was the case my apologies. An idea I've been rolling around in my head was using an electronic vacuum pump, could pull one from an EV that has vacuum power brakes.
