I assumed the rocker I was referring to (with hole in bottom) was the exhaust rocker but I wanted to be SURE for the reasons you mentioned.

You can also check in the Aircraft spruce catalogue to see if they have a video for your model. John W.

WHY? --> Engines-List message posted by: "flyseaplane" Hey folks - I just fired my freshly overhauled Lycoming O-290-D. It runs great and has 80 lbs of oil pressure. Everything was looking great, and after 10 minutes I added some power to see how she pulls. All of a sudden, I start getting some oil mist. I shut it down to see that the oil is pouring out between the crank and the seal. I know FULL WELL that I installed the spring that wraps around the inside of the seal after you stretch it on into place - - why would oil be getting past this seal (and LOTS of it!!) I guess I need to just pull the seal out and see what it looks like, but I have never seen this happen before. Have any of you seen this happen???? Thanks, Linc
