B61FD15 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 So the b61 I am working on has a 711 in it according to the paperwork we got from the museum. I am looking to reseal the engine as it has some oil leaks that would need to be fixed prior to repainting. I know a bunch of the gaskets can be replaced with either a copy cut from sheet material or the permatex grey sealant. However things like the rear main, front crank seal or head gasket(s) need to be replaced with correct parts. Does anyone have any knowledge of a source of parts like these?

theakerstwo Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 For a bit of infomation on the rear seal,There is no rear seal but there is a lead wire mashed down in a groove cut in the retainer.It only serves as a dust shield.The is a slinger made on the crank to devert the oil back inside.How ever excess blow by will blow oil out there and you can pull the trans and replace the wire to find it dont help much if any. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B61FD15 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Interesting... no rear seal... that is odd to me. I heard somewhere someone made/found a modern lip seal that fits perfectly in the end673 rear "seal" area. Can someone confirm that?

theakerstwo Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have used late engine seals before back there but first the crank has to be sent to machine shop and have the slinger machined off of the crank and a later model cover installed in place of the old cover. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I should say that there may have been the last modle of 711 with a lip seal with a different crank because i dont remenber ever thing that i have seen.There is also a cam cover back there that could leak oil.

39 Baby Mack Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Glenn, wasn't there a special rear seal housing made to take the later seal. The housing I'm talking about would clear the oil slinger and not require the slinger to be machined off the crank.?

theakerstwo Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Ron i have though about that and your are right.I am mixing engines so i am thinking now he should get a rear seal cover from a later engine like a ENDT675 and try that with a thin seal.Thanks for checkup.
