<VV> SEAL SITUATION

[N2VZD at aol.com]

I have changed out 2 of the viton seals. one was never installed in the  
car, just run on bench roughly 2 hours. The guy decided he wanted it for a std 
 shift. When i removed the bellhousing , I found just the inner lip rough , 
and  little balls of brown viton material on the crank.The outer lip still 
looks ok  on both motors? The crank is very smooth , just back from a shop, 
The lip  was positioned properly on the crank.
 I have pictures of that seal i just took. Number 2 was during a motor  
swap after @7000 miles. They were not leaking yet , But do not look good. So I  
put black seals in .
My other pet peeve is choke pulloff failures , probably due to fumes from  
our wonderful gasoline with ethanol. the bottom edge of the diaphragm 
wrinkles  up and leaks. I have repaired a few , replaced a few .
The ones on my truck now have the guts from old ones in the nice new white  
housings. They are working ok so far...
