the one that came out of the engine has also been cut. But i think it's strange that a seal needs modification to get a good fit.

But hey it's a mini so anything is possible:cool: There is another steel type, I always use them but I'm sure people have used the floppy ones with no problems.

It will be in for a year. So if it can hold up for that long it will be fine.

I wouldnt cut it down, use RTV on both sides (maincap/seal and seal/ gearbox), install the seal so the ends are flat against the bottom face of the block. As you install the gearbox, the seal will compress evenly. Never had a gearbox leak from there yet. Infact, i have sucsesfuly built three leak free engines, so those who say it cant be done, need to re asses their assembly technique On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I have different sets in my garage but all have the floppy seal. But it's in now, with a little silicon. there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.
