Restoration of 52N. Got the engine installed and running. I had to replace a cracked/leaking front timing cover and now there are no leaks anywhere….. EXCEPT the front seal, at least around the seal, I can not pinpoint the exact location. I was stubborn enough to reuse the one piece seal because it made sense vs the two pieces, but now I wonder about the wisdom of using it.
The rear rope seal is fine and no leaks there. So right now I am going to drop the oil pan again and check it out, in the meantime I ordered a rope seal.
I like to know what I did wrong, I took my time and all the necessary precautions and still leaked.
I am really inclined to install the rope seal as it has been done for the last 70+ years. Did anyone have problems installing the one piece?
