I ordered and received a new rear main oil seal and cover plate. I've Speedi-sleeved the flywheel boss already for the seal to run on.
The new rear cover plate doesn't have the half circle cut outs in it's flange like the original scroll type and it looks like the flange on the new one will block the drain hole in the crankcase.
Do I need to file a cutout into it?
With that fitted I want to do a test run of the oil pump to check the jets are correctly pointed and that oil is getting to all the right places.
