Yes ,, but i told the guy at Applied Industrial Tech i needed a seal to fix a home made  agricultural conveyor system that had that size seal........... Dude gave those catalogs a real good looking over and found me a couple... Might be here as early as Friday ,,             although i do trade there quite often,,, and i always have strange bearings (usually rusted beyond recognition)  from contraptions some old Fin built years ago with junk laying around..

 

Whoo hoo

The only problem is that motor mount sheet thing is across the whole front of the engine so i would have to take off the timing chain and all just to get some of that goop up behind it..  :hmm:,,,,,,,,, Maybe it will look better after a good car wash pressure washing

 

BUT i'm hoping that the new tight seal type action will stop most if not all the huge drainage of oil ..

 

I didn't take any of new rubber seal cover but here is old style gaps.

It's anyones guess which will fail first ,,,,,the clutch zip ties or all the bondo this thing has on it,,,,,,,,,, it's a toss up really.

Yeah but i believe it is being burnt, because of head gasket on it's way out,  not leaked out onto ground..., that green in pictures is just left over dripples from when i took radiator out..

 

I figure i would just run it till it breaks then lower the RPMs a bit.

 

 

Are you leaking antifreeze too?

I did notice it felt a little shakey but figured it was just cold ... After marking timing mark i looked at it and couldn't even see the mark at all,, I fixed it last night cuz didn't want it to fly off all the way up in Hillbilly world today

 

 

I also pressure washed the engine off on my way home tonight and found where the rest of my leak is at.. I had put new seals in side covers but one of the bolts has loosened up probably from vibration

You worry to much,, i figured if it made it there you could assume it would easily make it home.. 

    I have members from here and other forum boards and family with trailers that i have picked up from or helped off the freeway all the way up I-5 to within 10 miles of your place,,,  so wasn't scared about being scooped up ,,,, that,,  and i was carrying a ton of tools 3  extra gallons of water, 4 extra gallons of gas,,,  5 extra quarts of oil a tow rope and my insulated coveralls..  :rofl: :rofl:

  My biggest ( well GIGANTIC really)  worry is coming into Seattle traffic and through Seattle traffic and it don't matter which direction i am going really..
