    Yeah, that's not the groove I thought you were talking about.

    You really should look and see where the new seal rides. Seals are not all created equal and the seal that made that groove may not have the seal contact point in exactly the same spot as the new seal.

    Take a small scale and measure the depth from the stop/ledge on the crank to the highest spot on the new seal, then measure the back edge of the sleeve on the balancer to the groove. If they're in different spots, don't fret about it. Also, the picture was not very clear so it's not clear how deep that groove is. Seals do have a fairly significant collapse to them, and it's very possible it will never leak. And if it does you still have the option of pulling it again and pressing the sleeve over it.

    Hello to everyone,

    I been working nearly sun up to sun down the last few days. Made a sandblasting boath between the house and the shop with a big tarp. Worked up untill the weather got bad. I got most of what I wanted to do done but I still have a little more to blast next weekend. I made a paint boath with some plastic and exhuasted the fumes with a fan out of the window. Check the pics.

    Still busy making a home of that 50 year old 170!

    Very nice! An inspired effort!
    If it's running, take it apart and see why.

    Amen to that.

    Everything is looking really good. Nice to see a Falcon you can sand-blast and still have something left after you are done. It looks very solid.

    Question to others... What holds the upper part of the coil springs when you remove the outer shock towers? Guy, you may not want to stand where you were standing until that is known for sure.

    Good morning all

    Thanks for the tip. My wife walked into the shop, told me to look up, and snapped that picture.

    Pictures of the finish coat, lighting not so good. Pictures do not do it justice. I just may have a place to put that 170 soon!

    So you did pull the front-end parts off after all? The last pic shows no spring.

    Way to go (now I will for sure beat you to the finish)!

    (Ah shoot - I jinxed myself.)

    Good luck on that one. Do you have any pictures of what you're working on?

    I put the towers, the small plates under the towers, and the hood hinges I resorted about a year ago in place today. I will really slow up putting things back together, this is where I found slow and easy serves me best. I found 3M's strip caulk works real well when installing the plates and towers. Looks just like the original caulk, I'm happy with the results.

    Looks nice Guy! I really love that 3M Strip Caulk. Great for cars since it doesn't get dry and crack. Flexes when the car does.

    Shoot - and here I thought I was already famous, crazy, or both. Crazy for sure. Not to boast or anything, but it is the only thread on the forum with over 9,000 views (of course, half of those are my own viewings as I try to boost my ratings )

    to me.

    Here's a link to the thread. May take a couple hours to go through it. Started the project "officially" on March 3rd of this year. Hope to drive it this week. Knock on wood.

    Good Morning everyone, football day!!!!!!

    I have been busy restoring the little parts and pieces missed on the disassembly. Received a plug set and new shock tower bolts from Scott Drake and a new exhaust manifold from Dearborn yesterday. I will try and get some pictures to share soon.

    I put an add in Craislist for starting a Falcon Club here in Albuquerque but no responce. I may try again later.

    Hope your teams win today.
