This is where I thought the problem might be. But when reading threads posted on this it sounded like the problem was leaking around the outside of the seal and not at the seal to crank point. So now the only thing I have to worry about with my future engine is a slipped sleeve. I can live with that chance. Looks like the odds are in my favor on a slipped sleeve. I hope my wife does not look at my posts until a couple years after my purchase.
