CB350F crankshaft oil seal leak
exvalvesetdabbler:
On the 400F it is possible to split the engine upside down with the top end in place. I replaced the camchain and primary chain that way some years ago. You might need to drop the cam sprocket off the camshaft though if you want the crankshaft out. However, if you only need the clearance to slip on a replacement seal than I would try pushing the cam chain tensioner plunger all the way back and locking it.
I made a similar slip up and got one of the blanking plugs/seal on the end of the gear shaft in wrong which blew out and dumped oil everywhere. There's a piece on the seal that locates in a recess on the crank case. It's all too easy for it to spin round when you're playing with the gearshafts.
Best Regards
Dave

Thanks guys.
After a lifetime in engineering I put a seal in the wrong way round. "What a Muppet". I'm going to be sat in a window dribbling by the time I'm 60 at this rate. ;D
;D ;D ;D you have a long way to go Roy, only start to worry when you start licking the condensation from the inside of the window's ;D ;D
