Hi Erik
Use a small bead of silicone sealant and while still liquid adjust the Alton to give best gear adjustment

Have a read here if you want to install a seal. Scroll down to timing case setup.

Also see MPH, July 2018 edition at page 20 "An effective Alton Oil Seal for a Comet."
yesterday i started to dismantle the Generator.with the right Extractor a straight foreward Job.because of the rigidity i changed the halftime idler,which was of Aluminium alloy for a steel one.now there is lees pla in the driveline,but all smooth running.when i try to fit the alton in the very central Position with the oil seal fitted (thank you Martyn) i have the Impression that the plastic pinion of the alton is without any Play on the big idler.runs this in?or what should i do?regards erik
Ther big idler is on a boss which can be moved to allow adjustment. It might mean buying a smaller half time pinion to allow the big idler to move downwards.
Remember too that the Alton has strong rare earth magnets, so this takes some effort to move the armature shaft to and fro to feel any backlash in the gears, not easy to rotate like a Lucas or Miller generator shaft.
Never worked on a single, but does that not take the large idler out of mesh with the camshaft gear, sort of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
It can be moved in two dimensions to find the best fit to all the gears it has to interface to.
