Prop seals leak because people use the blades as tow-bars on the ground. Front crankcase seals leak because of blocked case vents. That's a gross oversimplification. As I said, the old Hartzell prop seals go because they are life limitted to a few years. They aren't even anywhere near the blades. While there's grease up there in the blade hubs, there ain't any engine oil. Had a crankcase seal blow out because the case was misassembled. Had nothing to do witht he vents. In-flight, centrifugal forces make the pressure on the seals at right angles, does not cause leaks. What? |
