. Rislone Rear Main Seal Repair (p/n 34250) is a unique blend of polymers, lubricity agents, anti-oxidants and conditioners that restores seal size, flexibility and elasticity. Chemical polymers in the product also fill in gaps and grooves in the crankshaft caused by normal engine wear, and build a protective film around the seal to prevent leaks.

The companies been around for over 90 years.

Looks like it's some sort of seal conditioner.

Will wait until next oil change and then rethink it.

Ralph mentioned it could be the top two bolts (Torx bit, T40?) that have 90% flogged out no longer pulling cover down enough. He's probably right, so: -Decided to remove the cooler piping hangers that are spacing those those bolts out a couple mm and reducing the thread in the head they are grabbing.

I had my timing cover off last week to reset the chain - it had jumped a tooth. When I bolted the cover back on one of these bolts (the one that goes through the turbo pipe tab) didn't tighten at all - it just kept turning with very little resistance.

I bought a longer bolt (8mm x 1.25, 150mm long, hex head) and a 150mm long 8mm tap (had to get this made - actually got 2 - one tapered & one plug). I extended the threaded section of the bolt a bit, using a die (already had this), then tapped the hole in the head to take the longer bolt. Did all this without removing the front cover again, so worth the $ buying taps in the time & effort saved.

My timing cover was leaking before as well, but when I removed the harmonic balancer it seems that the leak was from the front crankshaft seal. This can be replaced without removing the front cover, but you do have to take the balancer off. I had the cover off to reset the chain, so replaced it off the car.

Fitted up my Rspec rears with some 275 Dunlop sport maxx tyres...I know my car's only stock but new tyres hold all of every gear without wheelspin even with traction control turned OFF.

Is it just me though...or is anyone else's OCD tingling?...
