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 huskynox@yahoo.com |

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 '65 A100 Tradesman - Future Ticket Getter!
