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 |

When installing those the seal and flywheel o-ring, I've never used anything but a liberal application of motor oil.
Before you install the next seal, run your finger around the mating surface. Make sure there are no burrs or gouges that could cause a leak. If there are... well... let's hope there's not. That seal has a tight fit. Make sure you drive it in straight... not tilted at any time. Good luck and please post what you find when you get inside again!
