Hey Doc. Can you check out and reply to the
message #3 thrust bearing and also answer a
question about the rear main seal?? Again this
is a 1967 A100, 225/3-speed, 60000 original
miles. It hasn't been ran since 1987 and is
leaking oil from everwhere I think, so I am
replacing all the gaskets/seals. I'm wondering
if a should replace the rear main seal though?
I have the pan off and IT doesn't seem to be
leaking much. Maybe a little?? I pulled the
cap that houses the seal and am wondering if I
should just replace the L-seals and bolt it back
together. The thing that worries me about
replacing it is the crank on this motor is really
kneerled and I'm wondering if a rubber seal
would even work?? What do you think? Bolt it
back together with new L-seals or go for it??

Thanks
Mike

Mike,
I would replace it. As a matter of fact I already did on my '69 A108. Made a world of difference in what it was leaving on the ground. This is my daily driver and the only leak I have now is a dang exhaust leak that I have to take care of.
Talk at ya later,
Dan
