Hello yaall!

During Military festival in Poland - Darlowo, I meet one bloke who told me a story about Some trick regarding the way how to get rid of this annoying leakage at the Rear Crankshaft Seal.
Namely, instead of the graphite packing cord, one could use a simmering from Leyland SW400 diesel.
It is factory cut and inner spring can be spliced after assembly and just pushed inside on the lip – pictures says it all.
Does anyone have any experience or have heard about it?
I have googled around and found that blokes in US doing it on Flathead V8’ts.

It can be purchased from Poznan - Poland - https://stanek.info.pl/product/119

Cornmencita, and others,

I know of the existence of "spliced"simmerrings" (is this the correct english term?)
But I never used them. The link to the webshop is now broken. Does anybody get the part number or the dimensions of the simmerring?
I want to go this route to get my leakage solved.
I know I can go measure when i get the grafite out but like to have the parts prepared when starting the job.

Not sure if you mean ‘shim’ but any decent hydraulics place should be able to source you a ‘camshaft’ type oil seal, all you need are thickness and inner and outer diameters…I put one on a very early Suzuki SJ wehn I was stuck with the inevitable ‘they’re on back-order’and ‘Active Hydraulics’ bailed me out

Oh, and that original stuff is called ‘gland packing’ and it’s best to cut to size on a diagonal and at least a millimetre oversize in thickness
