Havnt been online in a while...since the last time ive cut and rewelded a different piece for my shaft in the suspension. and just yesterday i painted my hood. I will post pictures in a while probably tonight. Thanks for the replies!

I was wondering what is the best way to go with replacing the crank seals. Should i buy a nos crankshaft? Or get them pressed/resealed? How much does it cost to do that? And one last question- how do i know if mine are bad?

Thanks
Mark
