oil seals

rosco:
Engine rebuild coming on fine, after Head rebuild and rebore by Trigger.  Just one problem I didn't fit the right hand crank seal before bolting the cases back together. I now not sure which way it fits. Logic says looking at it , the metal side out. Is this correct ?
Thanks Ross

royhall:
You will be lucky to get it in as there is a rib around the seal that locates in a slot in the crankcases.

Nurse Julie:
Back to night school Ross. Metal side facing in...it should have a lip on it which needs to locate so cases need to be apart to fit it  :'( :'(

royhall:
That said I have managed to change a seal before without splitting the engine. At least you don't have to get an old one out. What I did was coat the outside of the seal with grease and oil the inner then knock it in with a suitable size socket ( just smaller than the seals outer). Mine just popped in and has been fine since. Be very careful you don't accidently scratch the crank or your seal will be toast in no time. Good luck.

rosco:
Bummer!!    Thanks guys   Back to schooooool !!!!!!!!!  As I'm waiting for some parts from D S America to arrive Think its safer to split cases and do the job properly  Ross
