For the roadworthy, our local mechanic told us to make sure the engine and that is clean. It may be leaky, but he said that aslong as it's clean, they don't care. |

I installed one of these kits when I put a rod box in my car. I haven't noticed any oil leaks from it yet, so I assume it works. The old trick used to be use two seals, and this will work just as well, but as I understand it the proper kit will last longer aswell. From memory the kit wasn't very expensive, only a little bit more than the normal rubbers. Anto. |
