Thanks Bob
My engine re-manufacturer is about as old as my father, 70ish and should =
have retired some time ago - he thinks he may be able to make one up - I =
was mostly interested to see if this was a works job or a unique =
modification.=20
I was told by a LR mechanic who worked with the British Army in the late =
40's and early 50's when they were testing LR's in Australia. He said =
that some early series LR's had problems with water contamination in the =
sump after wading through rivers. The theory goes that if the water can =
get into the bell housing then the reverse archimedes screw will =
actually pump the water into the engine. Rover sent engineers all over =
the place and worked on various fixes for the problem.
It would be nice to buy the seal of the shelf and not have to worry if =
we got it right!

Hi,
I remember a rope seal in a 1950 or so Chevy 6 that I rebuilt a loong =
time ago.
It was like clothesline impregnated with carbon or something. You had to =
tap it into the slot then trim the ends.
I wonder if it is available somewhere? and might work?
