I hate to come out and call anyone a liar, the fact that Speedway has been building these housings for some of the biggest NASCAR teams for over 20 year (and possibly longer that is the number i was told) and continue to do so would lead me to think that they have a product that is working. In the early days of running inner seals they had some issues apparently with oil moving past the seal, but like I said "since about 93-94 when they switched to a different seal design they have had no "issues" I will add "that they mentioned" and this was from the owner.

The housing DOES ALSO have a seal at the out board end of the tube and in discussions yesterday We have decided to make the inner seal an OPTION not a standard issue as they will require more "Checking" of the unit.

All these Opinoins and comments are good to make the product that much better.
