I replaced the rear main seal and the seriesIII. still leaks. I Tom her all apart and found the cork seals to be in perfect shapeand does not appear to be the culprit. Also the rear main seal was perfectly aligned. The split end was still pointed towards the cylinder head. I did notice that the rear main seal seems to be loose. I can't see if the crank has a groove from the old seal. In the event that there is a groove is there a way to fix it without talon out the crank and having it remachined? I used a britpart seal could the seal just be faulty from new? How tight should the new seal feel on the crank? When I assembled the new seal I used silicone grease on the sealing edge of the seal and the crank. Thanks all
