Front seal
I had my 1972 LT1 motor refresh about 5k miles ago, now I see trace of oil around the front seal area. I am thinking the harmonic balancer might be an issue since I installed one of those cap over the shaft because I noticed a grove.
Is it do able to replace the front seal without taking the timing cover off. This time I got a new harmonic balancer to install, along with a new seal. Thank you.
