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 |

Hey Man,
I might as well post what I PMed you on here. For the seals to remain leak free you need to make sure the mating surfaces are true and free of gouges and protrusions. You can file protrusions down if done so very carfully so as to not create a new depression. The sealants that I recommend are only if you have a problem getting it to seal and you have checked and cleaned the mating surfaces. Clean mating surfaces are of course important. The sealants that I have used and recommend are Threebond 1207 and Yamabond. Normally you do not need these. Another way that I have heard of remedying a leak when it is determined that it is due to a gouge in the case surface is to use JB weld in a VERY small amount and then, after it is cured, to file it down to original size and smooth it. If you could take pics that woudl help us to help you better as we may see something previously unnoticed by you. HTH |
