Ok guys-i need help with installing the rear main seal. replaced once with stock ering with no special procedures and it leaked. replaced with stock victor reinz with a light coat of hondabond(let set up for 3 days) and it leaked.
what is the trick here? 1. The ering was a little bit thinner than the victor reinz-10mm vs. 11.5mm. 2. The original was an ering. 3. Is there a special method for using permetex or the hondabond type of sealent? Any help would be appreciated, because i have been working on this pos for about 9 months and i am running out of stuff to replace. i am so close to having a daily runner, but i can't get this seal right.......HELP.......... Thanks, craig |

I've never used any sealant... are you sure it's the seal that's leaking.. how is the O ring in the flywheel?

I thought the same thing....i replaced the seal with the new flyweel and the new seal. when i put the next seal on i replaced the o ring all so..... Dr evil mentioned the sealant....i have researched this and i have found posts on using sealant or just a little of oil around the outer sealing edge. is there anything else it could be? |
