crank seal is dowty type rather than a std looking seal
crank seal is dowty type rather than a std looking seal
...just a smear of silicone grease to help it over the shoulder.
The seal has a teflon coating on it, it must be in DIRECT contact with the crankshaft, the grease increases the gap too much.
I know this is not the mode of failure in your case but worth noting. Did they fit a new seal anyway?
super rtv silicone is best stuuf to use for sump
silicone is better ,but t/seal tool is a pair of wedge shaped blocks that guide seals past edge of block.
Been told today to look at the crank for scoring and irregularities. Seal won't be good if has. Massive widget of gasket seal round it.
