We removed our flywheel and replaced the seal. Old seal:
Check out our nifty new prop. Watch out Lonnie! Another competitor.
Somewhere I saw a post from Randy down at Area 51 in Florida. He mentioned the poor surface finish of the flywheel part that rides on the seal. I polished it up with scotchbrite as best as I could. There was definitely a bevel in the corner of the old seal.
Lou, I had tried adding a check valve to my air-oil separator. That worked poorly. Good to know the anti-splat system works better. I'll see how this seal replacement goes.
