    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    I just wanted to thank all the wise advice that I received on this thread. And I wanted everyone to know that so far so good. Replaced the front crank seal, timing gasket, got some new bolts for timing cover and also replace the pushrod cover on the side (which had gasket maker only on it and...

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    Got it. Now I get it! 🤦‍♂️ Meant to post the pictures of mine to you but posted it to Steamers response. Think those cracked off parts in the center bore will matter? And what’s up with those scratches on the “labyrinth” part? Lol

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    Aahhhhh got it! Now I understand. What do you think of this? It appears that the inside diameter bore has some parts cracked off. Think it requires front cover replacement?

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    Can you explain this “staked” thing everyone mentioned? I see by the screws what looks to be an intentional blemish on the plate that perhaps causes that screw to not move? Is that what everyone is talking about? Sort of like how One would steak and axle nut or rear diff pinion nut.

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    Can you elaborate on this. Like the orientation of the seal. Is that front to back (like make sure I don’t put it in backwards)? Or is that orientation as far as a particular place on the seal being oriented at a particular position clock-wise?

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    I think I am just going to do as you said for now. Replace the front cover and seal. I did however clean it thoroughly before while it was together. Then ran it. And saw the oil coming from the front cover/seal area. So I just made the assumption it was one/both of them. It was only when I...

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    So I got the cover off, cleaned the plate and oil pan saddle area thoroughly with brake clean. I then waited about 20 minutes to see if I saw any seepage. I did not. It looks like there is a new oil pan on it and the Permatex saddle seal job they did is…..less than impressive to me. But it...

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    And no I’m not sure. All the bolts are out of front cover but I’m pretty sure someone Permatexed It on there. So I’ll post a pic this evening after work and see what you think once I get it off.

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    Thanks Silver City. I’ve been a mechanic for 15 years so I’ve learned a lot of these lessons the hard way lol. But my bolts would be hard to confuse. Unfortunately I have the Phillips head screws (got them all out) and then my bottom 2 are maybe M10’s x 30-50 or something like that with a...

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    This is the first I had heard of this (seal orientation and solder). I will pay close attention to the seal. Wasn’t going to powder coat it. Appreciate the heads up.

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    Understood. No haven’t started yet. Starting this job today. The pictures above…were they direct from a 2F manual? Like I stated above I skimmed over one (2F manual) last night, but it was like 11:00PM or so when I did so I could’ve missed something.

    Front crank seal oil leak questions

    Looking for some guidance on a front crank area leak. I have the crank seal, front cover gasket and intermediate plate gasket. I’ve already done a fair amount of reading on it but the one thing I wasn’t sure about was how far to install the “oil squirter”. Also read that obtaining a service...
