Hello, my mechanic has fitted the Classic Industries crankshaft seal part number MD646747 in two different RV2 compressors that I have and both are leaking. They hold the vacuum correctly, but then we start the engine with the AC on and all seems to be ok. After turning off the engine and...

Hello, There are 2 different crankshaft seals for the RV2 compressors, the original Mopar part number 1426501 and the modern one from Classic Industries parts number MD646747, see pictures. I guess that the Mopar ones are all 40-50 years old and that could be a problem? What are your opinions...
