Has anyone had success with the Moss crank rear seal conversion kit?
A local machine shop just rebuilt my MGTD XPAG engine (due to a broken crankshaft). During the rebuild, they installed a Moss crank Rear Seal Conversion Kit, #433-415. I thought this would be a good improvement. I just finished talking with a tech guru at a MG car club. When I told him I had installed the crank rear seal conversion kit, his breath went away. He said, OH NO!”. He is telling me that everyone in their club that has installed this kit has had a failure within a few hundred miles. He said the seal is not a good fit, about 1/32 overlap, will wear quickly and then spew engine oil all over the dry clutch. Has anyone out there had any success with the rear crank seal conversion kit? I’m looking for a vote of confidence. I looked in archives, but didn’t find much. Some said if the kit was installed correctly, if the directions were carefully followed, then the seal does work. Any opinions or experiences will be appreciated. I’ve installed about a dozen in various customers’ XPAG
