Looking to build another engine at some point and have seen a full genuine oil seal kit on Ebay. How long will oil seals last before they start to perish? They are new andvin sealed bags, thought I might get a set ready for when I need them.
Cheers

Some years ago i had a conversation with a chap at a seal supplier / manufacturer . I asked a similar question , and he told me a problem they had with some stock they supplied to a good customer of theirs . There was some seals in the batch which had perished , so this led to a change in their work practice involving a stock inspection and record check . In the finish the majority of stock was skipped and better records kept and smaller amount of on the shelf kept . It was big money . Myself i rub rubber grease on them and keep in a bag in the dark .
