Or does anyone have any other ideas - David ---------------------------------
That seal doesn't see oil pressure, it sees crankcase pressure. You could be building up crankcase pressure and blowing out the seal. Check your compression and then the crankcase venting system. It could be just a plugged or collapsed breather hose. George |
