ive never used a turnes design so i cant say, only the std dowty seal
Yep, there's two variables here. Me stupidly taking out the guide and the Turner's seal being different to the standard and so not possible to compare.
Cheers, Saint. That's very kind. I have an identical one here.
Amazingly, the half printed OEM is the same on the box. I'd already ordered this one, along with the clutch, when I fell for the Turner's one being of 'superior design'.
I've been fiddling with this one, so whatever your fingers do to it it'll be carped now. I presume something in your skin oils affects the plastic but god know how it's solid!
I'll see what Turners say about the one they sell and how easy it could turn inside out and how it looks once it's come through the guide sleeve. I might be in luck
Thanks for the offer of sending yours, but I'll feel guilty about you paying the postage. A G suffix one is £11.99 on ebay, the Turners one was £42
Cheers, mate.
I'll find out what Turners say and get back to you. I don't want to tempt fate, but do you not want to keep a spare
Mine uses a different flywheel housing as it is mated to the LT77 gearbox...this uses a different rear seal....I bought this before I realised this!Cheers, mate.

If it's bad news from Turners on Monday, I'll PM you my address.
Grand, best of luck.
Well, I'm not sure what to do today.
I'm reluctant to set the timing, because when I torqued the six flywheel bolts down I had to have the Mrs, one son and a friend stand on the engine crane with the engine strapped to the crane via the crankshaft. Not sure how I would stop the engine tipping over if timing was done and the front case and everything on.
I think, this afternoon, I'll take the head off from it's temporary fixed situation. Clean it again fit with no hole gasket and torqued to full spec, fit injectors and heater plugs.
Or, if the suns gets out, sit in the sun and take a break from it

Looking good mate, all starting to come together now
Well almost. Might have fitted the rear crank oil seal incorrectly.Looking good mate, all starting to come together now
Have you been quiet on here or have I just been wrapped up in this damn engine?
You're right. I need a break. I think I'll spend an hour tidying the garage up and that's it.

Sometimes it's a good idea to step back and clear your head, go at it when you feel more like it.

Hey up Al CHILL out MAN ! Weathers crap anyway
At least leave the Glo plugs out makes it easier to turn motor over to set tappets !
KEEP up the GOOD Work !
And as for the back seal (just my view) (others are available) IF you put it on WITH the guide ring in place I don't think you will have a problem !

I did use the guide ring. I had taken the guide ring out and put it back in, which creates an element of doubt. The other factor is that the seal Turners sell is made of different material, so might have folded back on itself. The standard ones won't fold back, so it's the different material that causing me doubt. Turners should be able to tell me on Monday.

Come on then, spill the beans we are all patiently waiting in suspense (not suspenders.....well not me at least)I emailed Turners earlier and included the pictures I've put on LZ.
Amazingly, they have replied already! They've told me to ring at 10am when there'll be someone there to advise me.
Canny service that!
