Hi All,
A quick question........................
I ordered a complete seal kit for the Z400J and this included the two crankshaft oil seals.
I fitted the seals and all appeared to be fine, crackshaft turned, the lip was properly in place so I bolted the two crankcase halves together. Skip forward a couple of hours and the tidy up and I noticed the old crankshaft seals had a ridge around the outside of the seal (as do Honda seals) to fit inside a machined groove in the crankcases. The new seals didn't have the ridge.
Question is do you think the new seals are OK? They are from Wemoto and they are a reputable company. The seals are Japan made. I really dont want to take thje engine apart but then again I dont want the new seals to blow under pressure.
What does the forum think....?

As long as your engine breather is not blocked, they shouldn't be under pressure and so, they should be fine!
