If the nose of the impeller is not touching the back of whatever, then it's definitely NOT the 1st or 2nd generation. My guess then would be the 3G, but whatever it is is better than the original(1G) seal, so you should not have to worry about an "explosion".

Arrrgh!

Another delay on the Healey engine. =:-(

Got a call from the machinist - He found a crack in my head after skimming it. <mumble>

It is a relatively benign crack, from a water jacket opening. Apparently small, but of course I do not want to permit it to spread. I could take a chance and install the head as is, but I would be waiting for my motor to puke coolant into the combustion chamber.

I told him to Heliarc it and then reskim it. He said it would add to the lead time on my motor.

Well, the sun is only expected to burn for another three billion years, I guess I can reassemble my motor IN THE DARK.

Grrr,

Vance
