URGENT! Oilleak from crankshaft to flywheel?? Hey all,
we are running a built LS3 based stroker engine.
A couple of events ago it started leaking oil so we dissembled the gearbox and the flywheel, as we thought it might be the rear crankshaft seal. After removing the flywheel there was quite some oil in the middle of the crankshaft. We realized that there is some kind of plug.
Can anybody give us some advice on what might be the problem - the car has to be up and running in 3 days
.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
