The oil leak is a steady stream of oil--not a drip. I have removed the engine and see no obvious reason for the leak. The flange or ring on the crankshaft only presses into the rope packing about 1/16 inch. I thought this may not be enough, so purchased a new rope seal from a different supplier expecting to see a larger diameter rope, but it is the same. Is this all the flange should press into the rope seal?? Also the oil drain hole at the bottom of the groove was partly or completely blocked by the rope seal. Could this be the problem?? Your help would be appreciated as I do not want to pull this engine again!
Thanks,
Dave
