Nice! I could use a couple of those. In the not to distant future.
Is there a groove in the end of the crankshaft? I can see where the seal rides, can you catch a nail in it?
Looks pretty clean on the inside, a lot cleaner than the '86 and the '74.
No there is not a grove! Pretty clean. I polished the outer piece it’s so very slight finger nail don’t catch like the other two i have i think it’s ok. I noticed the other outer piece that the Teflon seal rode on it actually has three groves.there are 3 seals in one looks like on the Teflon seal!
I have two Series 3 oil filter heads and pumps fitted to '62 and '72 XK6 engines. All my engine builder did was weld up the cam feed hole in the diecasting on the Series 3 filter heads - still use the block feed on the lower left hand side. All good. Paul.
Good to know that cheers mate
