    Fighting a front main seal oil leak. Plled the balancer and had a wear groove. Installed a sleeve, inspected the seal, all was good. Never leaked until I drove it to his shop.....pouring oil. Pulling balancer again and new seal........

    It went home!!!!! Bt ran out of gas on the way over.....

    Ended up replacing a worn balancer which wouldn't seal even with the sleeve. Put in new balancer and stopped that leak, then found that the timing cover had a leak, so I replacd it with new. No more oil leaks!


    We'll stamp this one DONE.

    For now.

    I have a very nice 54 coming soon for a t5 swap and Colorado rear, also Master Power M/C kit.
