Continental which used the same type seal as the Lycoming and Franklin
recommends the split be at 11 or 1 o'clock.(case spilt is at 12. My
recommendation is to use "super glue" on the ends. Make sure the recess
is clean and dry. Use a sealer on the outside. I like Loctite 515 and
remember to replace the garter spring and grease the lip. Look at
Continental M76-4 for the complete Continental instructions.

Having spent 4-1/2 hours removing and 1 hour replacing a leaking split
seal on the front of my flanged crankshaft C-85 , my first flight today
still shows leakage....

Never really doing those old Chevy two part split seals well, I guess I'm
still inept G.

I think I'll be able to better the aforementioned time durations but
would appreciate any hints at doing a better job this time.

Thanks, Dick

Does Continental have a solid seal for the engine? The type you force
over the prop flange?
I've used those before and have seemed to do a good job.
Just a thought.

Never seen one, at least for the small engines. That's Lycoming's
method.
