Hi jlee, The clutch push rod oil seal is prone to popping out if crank case pressure is too high. I had one come out whilst riding up the M6 to collect parts from Bill Heads many years ago when a piston ring broke up. Not a nice experience and a long push back to the Wirral. Suggest you check the en...

Many thanks for the comprehensive reply G-man. I have of course read your very informative posts on crank rebuilding and oil pathways through these engines.

Apologies for jumping in on your thread Dave but I'm worried by G-man's post as like you I've just rebuilt an engine using a ball race on the alternator side as the bearing surface on my crank originally fitted with the roller bearing was breaking up.
