crank shaft oil seal

Post by ThomChloe »

Hi just changed crank shaft oil seal and changed the o ring put it all back together and still leaking. Guessing I damaged seal putting it in just wondered if there is defiantly only one seal and o ring. Cheers

Sometimes its the flywheel, it gets a big groove when old, you can sometimes position the seal to just miss the groove.
