Hi, we installed the rebuilt 2.0 motor back in the car today and ran into a little "glitch" those darn gremlins keep popping up. As you can see from the photo there's a gap of about an inch in one corner. The rest is OK. Two questions, did we do something wrong when we installed the seal or perhaps this is common and not such a big deal. Thanks in advance, you guys have all been a tremendous help.

Got it, we will check tomorrow. Did you remember if you had a gap or not? Thanks.

Got it, we will check tomorrow. Did you remember if you had a gap or not? Thanks. I think I had a pretty decent gap, maybe not quite as large as the one appears in your picture. I feel like I was able to get it a little closer when I loosened up the mounts and tried to budge the engine/tranny slightly forward. I can get the seals to sort of mate to the tin, but it's a stretch, and once I start driving they come off on at least one side. |
