If you are tired of dripping oil onto your driveway and clutch, this crankshaft rear seal kit is the real thing. It allows you to replace the scroll seal with a real rubber seal! A special aluminum casting bolts right on to the block with no fabrication required. RIC777 (1275cc), Replacement seals only are available as RIC777/S.
The stock factory engine uses a 'scroll seal' which is not really a seal at all but simply a technique to try to keep the oil from not getting out from a rotating surface. There is no maintenance possible on the stock set up as it actually is a metal to metal system with no replacable parts involved. As it wears the engine simply leaks!

Question:
I’ve test fitted my aluminum top plate (that replaces the top half of the scroll seal) and it extends further from the engine than the bottom half of the scroll seal (on the rear main cap) by 0.012” or about 1/3 of a mm as measured with a feeler gauge. Is that going to be too large a gap to maintain a seal? 1275 midget engine
Answer:
I don't think this will be an issue but you should definitely fill the gap with sealant. Sealant should be used all around the outside of the seal holder (not the inside where the seal sits), too. Just make sure the areas where the sealant goes is 100% grease and oil-free or the sealant will be ineffective.
There's a number on the fork - for 1275cc applications it should be 22G168. I would confirm you've got the correct fork and not the earlier 2A3406 out of a smoothcase gearbox. The release bearings are specific to 1275, as well. Confirm that all the parts are for the ribcase gearbox and not the earlier smoothcase. Mixing and matching will cause issues.
The gearbox front cover with the pivot for the ribcase is part 22G118. Confirm this, too, before looking elsewhere.
The only roller bearing we sell has to be used with a particular pressure plate that has the center part removed where a carbon bearing would ride since the roller bearing is so much taller than the standard release bearing. My guess is this is your mismatch. If the clutch package is at all worn it may be best to get a new kit so that you know the clutch disc, pressure plate, and bearing will all work together as they should.

Question:
Will this kit might stop the rear seal leaking in my '61 MK1 midget? It has a 9C, (not the 9CG) 948 engine with a smooth case tranny in her now. Will the RIC775 kit work? Not sure what size the main is.
Answer:
All of the 948cc cars have a 1 3/4" main bearing size, so yes, this is the kit for your application.
