i know this is not easily answered but just wanted to gauge peoples thoughts.............
as some of you are following my thread on the restoration of my MCC PU you will know that the engine is the same as the MCC CS8
i'm still in the early stages of running the engine and checking the carb setting etc, However, every time i run the engine, i get a lot of oil dripping out of the bell housing weep hole, now i'm told there is no seal ? but only an 'Oil Thrower' ?
i did not actually rebuild the engine, it was done for me earlier in the year, but of course until it had oil and ran, it did not present a problem.
so my question is, should there be a seal ? could the 'thrower' be faulty ? but more importantly, can this be remedied from the bottom end, i.e. not having to take the engine out ?
and no, i have not over filled the oil, i have good pressure when running ( only run it for 4 - 6 minutes at a time)
