Transmission/gearbox oil.

Just wondering I know in older cars if you go from regular oil to synthetic some of your seals may start leaking due to synthetic molecules being a little smaller. Has anyone had this issue on their Blaster? I am pretty sure mine was only ever ran with conventional type oil and do not want leaks to start when I put synthetic in.Also what does the TORS do and should I eliminate it? Does it help with power?

Don't use regular motor oil. Go with an oil that is "Wet clutch" safe. Motor oil has frictions modifiers in it. Thise can cause all sorts of problems. I use Bell-Ray gear saver 80w90.

Yeah I know about the wet clutch stuff. But was asking if anyone got oil leaks from switching to synthetic blend. I know ppl with older cars who went synthetic and started getting oil leaks due to synthetic oil having a smaller molecular structure.

If it doesn't leak now, I wouldn't worry about it leaking after an oil change. Are there any signs of a leak now? Around the seals, or the plug?

 

[Oneshot]

No it was not leaking oil when I parked it and pulled it apart. Did a leakdown test and a seal was leaking so waiting for it to get here.

 

[blasterboy91]

What seal was it? Did you do a compression test also?

 

[Oneshot]

Yes it is crank seal on left side. Compression test was at 120.
