I asked your very question of my rebuilder and he replied that the lip of the seal was well within the boss.

mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com [b]Subject:[/b] RE: [mg-tabc] Oil Leaking Peter, Has an oil seal conversion been fitted to the rear main? If so make sure the lip of the seal is actually running on the crankshaft boss. Some of the cranks were made with shorter bosses than the others and the seal conversion doesn t place the seal in the centre of the boss but at the edge.

[b]Subject:[/b] [mg-tabc] Oil Leaking My engine rebuilder is in the midst of a mystery and would appreciate some help. The engine has just finished a rebuild. All bearings, seals, gaskets, etc. are new. On a first street run the engine ran perfectly, nice and strong with no odd noises. Came up on normal heat and showed 55 lbs of oil pressure. Lucas oil was used. Brought it back to the shop and in a few minutes discovered a puddle of oil below the bell housing. He removed the engine and inspected the rear main seal and the cam oil plug No leaks. He examined the pan gasket, no leaks. Any thoughts on where the oil is coming from? _Peter
