Engine trial

In to the trial frame goes the engine.
This is the most successful way to run the engine in and check all systems are working correctly.
Great time to run in all new components ie: cam rings ect.
The motor started perfectly all running in procedures completed.
Pressure test cooling system all A1 check all fluids ect.
All is well until the pool of oil under the flywheel cover.
We all know what this means.Most of the time it is a leaking rear main.
Sure enough that's what it was.
OUT WITH THE ENGINE AND FIND OUT WHY.
The photo on the right shows the problem well. Some of the sealer had leaked onto the crank and dried.
Those of you with an eye for detail will notice that this engine has been balanced.
