Thanks a million, good to know, I'm delighted that your boat is Ford powered, I bet it's pretty quick with the 351, bye the way, damn nice boat!I have done this. The only problem I had was a leaky rear seal. During the initial buildup, I installed a speedy sleeve over the crank hash marks. Evidently, this made the seal "too tight" as it was failing after a short time. I tried both left and right seals, both failed in rapid succession. After consulting with a crankshaft shop, it was suggested to machine off the hash marks and use the right hand seal (as I recall, about .020") Did this and it worked. I did not use a right hand timing cover seal, but in my Century Resorter, the engine is at a significant angle. BTW, I did have to change the oil pan to a rear sump. (I started with an auto engine). 10 years on the engine now, with the last 7 drip free.View attachment 6325
